Research Interests

My research is concentrated on studying Asphaltites and their physiochemical properties, using analytical techniques such as TOC analysis, SEM, and geochemistry. I have extensive experience in leading lead interdisciplinary teams to explore energy projects and integrate geochemistry and geophysics data to produce accurate cinematic models. My goal is to expand knowledge of Asphaltites and their potential applications in the asphalt, foundry, bitumen, and energy industries.
