I am a Research Fellow at UNSW, currently contributing to Program 3 of the Mineral Exploration Cooperative Research Centre (MinEx CRC).
My research focuses on characterising regolith interfaces, collaborating with geological surveys and research organisations to develop workflows for identifying critical cover interfaces using field-based data acquisition techniques. I am also involved in Environmental Geochemistry studies in New South Wales.
During my PhD, I investigated geochemical and mineralogical signatures associated with blind lead-zinc deposits within the regolith. My expertise spans exploration geochemistry, hyperspectral science, and the application of Machine Learning techniques in mineral exploration.
