About

I am an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institut für Geotechnik at Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. I perform coupled modelling of thermo-bio-chemo-hydro-mechanical (T-BCHM) processes in evolving geomaterials. I have research interests in Biogeotechnics, Computational Multiphysics Geomechanics, Mechanical Constitutive Behaviour of Geomaterials, Carbon Geosequestration and Geological Repository Design.
