I am an engineering geologist with an interest in rock engineering for disposal of nuclear waste and civil engineering projects. I am also interested in Quaternary geology and processes and their influence on rail and road resilience. I am a chartered geologist with the Geological Society in London, a RoGEP Adviser with the ICE and a licensed geologist and engineering geologist in California.
Our research will test the hypothesis that Lower Strength Sedimentary Rocks at medium depth will show ductile behaviour which will allow self-sealing of discontinuities.
I am an engineering geologist with an interest in rock mechanics and creating space underground particularly for the storage of nuclear waste as well as civil engineering projects and Quaternary geology and processes and its influence on rail and road resilience.

I am an Associate Director at Arup based in the York office where I lead the applied geology team. I jointly lead Arup's Deep Geology capability and am the Global Applied Geology Skills Network Leader (2016-2018). Since the beginning of 2017 I have been seconded, part time, into the Sirius Minerals Woodsmith Mine Project team.
