Research
My research interests lie in natural hazards and their interactions with a changing climate, with a particular focus on coastal areas. I work at the interface of geospatial science and climate risk, using quantitative, data-driven approaches to understand and model complex environmental processes.
More specifically, my academic interests include:
-
Natural hazard processes and multi-hazard risk under climate change
-
Remote sensing for environmental monitoring
-
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial modelling and decision support
-
Quantitative risk assessment and climate risk analytics
-
Machine learning and statistical modelling for environmental and hazard applications
-
Data analysis, integration and visualization for large geospatial and climate datasets
Thesis
Dynamic coastal risk for a changing climate

Biography
I am a Postgraduate Researcher in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Cardiff University, researching the effect of coastal hazards on Wales coast. I use geospatial sciences, climate modelling and data analysis to study how coasts respond to present and future climate hazards, building on both academic training and industry experience.
