Welcome to my World

I'm a young dedicated geoscientist with a rich background in geology

Specialization:

In the realm of hydrogeology, I delve into the distribution and movement of groundwater, while my expertise in engineering geology involves the application of geological principles to civil engineering projects. Environmental geology is my lens for examining human interactions with the geologic environment, ensuring sustainable land use and resource management.

Research Interests:

My research interests span a wide spectrum. From water quality monitoring and soil quality characterization to investigating the nexus between groundwater and human health, I am committed to unraveling the complexities that shape our environment. Climate change's impact on water resources and the sustainable management of these resources are areas where my expertise finds practical applications.

Holistic Approach:

What sets my work apart is the holistic approach I bring to the field. By integrating hydrogeophysics, geochemistry, and medical geology, I aim to understand the intricate relationships between geological processes and human health. Additionally, my skills in environmental impact assessment contribute to evaluating and mitigating the consequences of human activities on the environment.
