Guides

📚Applying to University

I compiled a short guide on how to apply to US and UK universities.

Projects

🐚Oxygen as a Predictor of Extinction Risk over the Phanerozoic

For my Master's thesis at Oxford (2024–2025), I conducted research with the Saupe Lab.

I studied extinction selectivity of marine invertebrates over geological time. We modelled paleoclimates using cGENIE and extinctions using the PBDB database. I tested extinction selectivity using GLMMs in R. My final report is linked above. 

⚡Geothermal Potential of Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

During my 2024 summer internship at KAUST, I conducted research with the Computational Earthquake Seismology Group.

I built geologically accurate sedimentary reservoir models in CMG and simulated 50 years of geothermal production, optimizing well placement and flow configurations. I also developed MATLAB code for techno-economic analysis, including calculation of performance metrics such as the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). 

🪨Geology of South of Broadford, Isle of Skye, Scotland

For my Bachelor's thesis at Oxford (2023-2024), I conducted a 6 week geological mapping project in Scotland. My poster is linked above. 

🚢Autonomous Shipping in Japan

During my 2023 summer internship at the Mitsubishi Research Institute, I researched autonomous shipping with a focus on technology implementation strategy, as part of the Meguri2040 project.

🌀Data Analysis Pipeline for Wave Gliders

During my 2022 summer internship at the OIST, I conducted research with the Marine Biophysics Unit. 

I optimized data analysis of autonomous Wave Glider technology and its observations of Pacific tropical cyclones. I developed Python software to clean, process, and visualize raw observation data.
