My interest lies in the field of Applied Quaternary Geosciences with relevance to the sustainable development goals in densely populated riverine and glacial settings and in understanding the architecture and processes of modern sedimentary systems through the development of conceptual geological models and their subsequent implication for groundwater and urban/rural underground storage. I follow a multidisciplinary approach which involves the examination of drill cores and geophysical well-log data combined with sediment mineralogy and geochemistry to detect sedimentary processes responsible for complex depositional environments and predict sediment-body geometries and heterogeneities affecting natural resources.

I am looking for a platform where I can expand my horizons by working with a multidisciplinary team and contributing my geological knowledge to achieve the goals of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
