I am a rock mechanics laboratory specialist and scientist at the Transport Properties and Research Laboratories here in the British Geological Survey (Keyworth site) where I contribute to the research into the mechanical and fluid transport properties of low permeability natural and synthetic geological material.
These projects are chiefly aimed at providing long term solutions to current environmental issues and to support and develop green energy technologies to meet current UK net zero goals.
My role is both practical in the set up and maintenance of ongoing high pressure and/or high temperature experiments as well as analytical regarding data validation, interpretation, and reporting.
