Personal profile

Biography

Currently a senior lecturer in mining engineering at the University of Western Australia. Currently studying 3D failure criteria and constitutive modelling for rock masses. During post-doc, investigated using an extended finite element (XFEM) code, the prediction of fault mechanics and microseismicity from an in-situ fluid injection experiment into a pre-existing fault. During PhD, examined the prediction of breakdown pressures and fracture propagation surfaces from hydraulic fracturing using artificial rock specimens (intact and with a replicated crack).
