Overview

Profile summary

I am a PhD researcher at the University of Plymouth, investigating the tectonics and geodynamics of eastern Turkey and northern Syria. My current research integrates InSAR satellite data with Coulomb stress modelling to analyse rupture processes and strain redistribution associated with the February 2023 earthquake sequence.

With a background in geology and a strong interest in multidisciplinary approaches, my previous research explored the geochemistry of estuarine sediments using XRF analysis to assess historical mine waste contamination in coastal catchments. This diversity of experience reflects my broad passion for Earth sciences and my ongoing commitment to applying a range of geoscientific techniques to complex natural systems.
