Her early academic career varied across modelling future gravitational wave observations using Bayesian inference, to studying the organic chemistry of meteorites in laboratory settings. In her role at BGS, she analyses Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to study ground deformations due to various geological influences, and is developing machine learning algorithms and statistical approaches to automate geological interpretations of InSAR data. She has other scientific interests in planetary science, hazard monitoring and understanding cascading hazards in vulnerable locations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sea-background-f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-menu\"><li class=\"active\"><h5><a href=\"#tabs-1\">Biography<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-2\">Research<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-3\">Skills &amp; qualifications<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-4\">Awards &amp; associations<\/a><\/h5><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container tabs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-1\"><div class=\"col-12\"><ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>2022 \u2013 ongoing: MSc (by Research) Geology, University of Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>2022 \u2013 2023: Lab demonstrator, School of Geographical &amp; Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>2017 \u2013 2022: MSci Astronomy &amp; Physics, University of Glasgow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-2\"><div class=\"col-12\"><p><strong>Research interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Ground deformation monitoring using InSAR<\/li>\n<li>Cascading mutli-hazard interactions<\/li>\n<li>Quantifying the extent of geological influencers on ground deformation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ORCID<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7195-4266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">0009-0003-7195-4266<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-3\"><div class=\"col-12\"><ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Bayesian statistics<\/li>\n<li>Python programming<\/li>\n<li>Statistical analysis<\/li>\n<li>Public engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-4\"><div class=\"col-12\"><ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Member of the Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society<\/li>\n<li>Member of The Meteoritical Society<\/li>\n<li>Member of the Geological Remote Sensing Group (the Geological Society of London &amp; the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":108335,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"75646,57790,37510,37422,66279,83392","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"tags":[],"bgs_role":[1578],"level":[],"location":[154],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
