Summary
As a Geotechnical Field Coordinator at ECS Limited, I am keenly interested in the Earth's dynamic systems and applying this knowledge to address environmental and energy challenges. My fieldwork analyzing soil and rock stratification using observation skills has honed my skills in data analysis, structural geology, and geophysical techniques. My past research is in analyzing outcrop models to help teach deep learning systems for accurate facies interpretation. My passion project is an innovative solar energy design, using geoscientific principles to optimize energy systems. I aim to contribute to solving critical challenges in renewable energy and environmental sustainability, leveraging my geoscience expertise to innovate and make a meaningful impact.
