My research focuses on understanding the processes and products of alluvial systems, with a particular emphasis on alluvial, fluvial, and deltaic systems. My research spans both modern and ancient fluvial systems, to ensure a holistic understanding of processes that operate on short- (e.g. seconds) and long-term (e.g. geological) timescales, and how this impacts the nature and predictability of deposits. I use methods in remote sensing, AI, field sedimentology and geomorphology, and computational modelling to pursue scientific questions and societal challenges. I have expertise in deriving quantitative predictive models of sedimentary systems for subsurface application over a variety of scales from the basin to pore scale. I have a track record in developing predictive subsurface models to better understand subsurface deposits that host resources and be potential future storage sites. I have a strong and demonstrate able commitment to EDI, leading grass routes initiatives such as Girls into Geoscience which brings together women from industry, government bodies, academia and High schools in order to highlight and promote the role Geoscience has in our society and its potential to be an exciting and worthwhile subject and career to pursue for women.

I have supervised students from a range of scientific and cultural backgrounds. I firmly believe in a student focused PhD experience, tailoring research experience and expertise to students long term career and skills aspirations.
