Collaborate and engineer the transfer of subsurface models validity concepts into the next generation of automated subsurface model analysis and modelling applications. Focus on reservoir characterization, unconventional, mining, geothermal and CCUS. Programmed a new method of fault seal analysis based on probabilistic positioning of holes and smears in fault gouge Projects in the Ionian sea, North Sea, Kuwait Secondment with Halliburton consulting (7 months)
Promote, educate and communicate subsurface modelling and structural geology best practices applied to regional play-based exploration and software development. Transfer the principles of subsurface models validity into the next generation of automatised subsurface model analysis and modelling applications. Projects in Potwar Basin, Pakistan (fractured carbonates); Assam FTB, India; Global porphyry copper screening

PhD work on the structural geology and the quantification of vertical movements with low temperature detrital thermochronology (AHe, AFTA and ZHe) in the Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt and Kermanshah Suture Zone, Iran. Kinematic reconstruction of the belt during the Cenozoic compression. Evidence for mantle exhumation in the Kermanshah Crush zone, new tentative geometry of the northern Arabian paleo-margin. Supervised by Dominique Frizon de Lamotte (Cergy Univ.) and Jean-Claude Ringenbach, collaborations with Geoffrey M.H. Ruiz (Lausanne Univ.), Finlay Stuart (SUERC), Matthias Bernet (Grenoble Univ.), Shahram Sherkati (NIOC)
