I am a seasoned geotechnical engineer with a background in both research and industry, specialising in offshore engineering. My work focuses specifically on the geotechnical aspects of offshore energy projects. Currently, my research at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems is centered on advancing geotechnical design tools and methodologies to reduce conservatism in anchor design for floating offshore wind turbines, ultimately making them more economically viable.

With extensive experience in numerical modelling of offshore engineering problems, particularly within the realm of geotechnical considerations, I have contributed significantly to the development and integration of constitutive models for sensitive fine-grained soils into commercial finite element codes. Additionally, I possess specialised skills in laboratory soil characterisation using cutting-edge techniques such as advanced soil element analysis and physical model testing.

My professional interests revolve around development of innovative and pragmatic design solutions for affordable and clean offshore energy infrastructure, achieved through robust collaborations between academia and industry.
