  • Industry-funded research project into submarine high voltage power transmission and export cables, with modelling using COMSOL Multiphysics finite element method modelling software and Matlab scripting. • Contributed to active research, being the second author on “Low computational cost model for convective heat transfer from submarine cables”, in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery (doi:10.1109/TPWRD.2020.2991783). • This project was multidisciplinary and combined geoscience with oceanography for developing ground models of the study area using actual datasets from HV (AC & DC) cable routes to compare with the numerical models. Environmental controls such as sediment properties and temporal temperature fluctuations were a key focus. • Joined researchers for fieldwork at the ORE Catapult Offshore Renewable Energy site in Blyth, assisting with 3D Chirp, RTK GPS and magnetometer surveys. Also attended an introductory SUT geotechnical techniques course. Show less

• MSci Geophysics Student

  • Sep 2014 - Jul 2018

  • Graduated with a First Class degree; recipient of the British Geophysical Association Prize - awarded for obtaining the highest aggregate mark over the four year MSci Geophysics degree.• MSci research project used 3D seismic data collected from ocean bottom seismometers during a recent research cruise to an active North Sea gas escape structure; these structures pose risks to future carbon sequestration. 3D FAST (First Arrival Seismic Topography) was used to characterise the methane-rich seabed within this region.• Practical geophysical skills were developed through being on a small sidescan sonar survey during a specialised seafloor surveying course - which included data processing in CARIS and SonarWiz - and on a much larger (3 week) 3D seismic survey on a research cruise (discussed below in Employment History). Fieldwork included a variety of potential field methods, terrestrial seismic surveys, and data processing/interpretation.• Advanced computing skills included the use of Petrel, CARIS, SonarWiz, ArcGIS, MATLAB, ProMAX, ODM, VSProwess, p:IGI, and Unix shell scripting with Seismic Unix and Generic Mapping Tools (GMT). Other software such as Gravmag, Res2DInv, RINVERT and SeisImager were used for visualising and modelling geophysical data.• Presentations and teamwork - both key aspects to numerous courses over the degree - assisted the ability to deliver concise and informative talks and demonstrated effectiveness as a cooperative team member.• Rigorous analytical skills were developed through fieldwork, geological and laboratory-based experience such as geological mapping, interpretation of seismic sections, stereonets, cross sections and sedimentary logs, and examining and analysing rock samples to interpret formation histories and petrology.

• Research Assistant

  • Jun 2016 - Jul 2016

  Assisted a PhD Student and my Tutor with research within shallow marine geophysics, specifically related to seafloor sediments and submarine high voltage cables.Computational analysis of scientific data (ArcGIS mostly, plus some Matlab), and physical work (even photography) was required.

• Marine Geophysics Summer Intern

  • Jul 2017 - Sep 2017

  Working for Professor Jonathan Bull, my duties were varied and included cataloguing old research cruise hard drive data, organising ArcGIS projects, plotting maps using Unix shell scripting with GMT, and writing a comprehensive literature review paper on the near-seafloor stratigraphy of the Witch Ground Basin in the Northern North Sea in preparation for a research cruise aboard the RRS James Cook. My major role was to personally program and operate a passive acoustic recording device to be deployed twice from the RRS James Cook, and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to join the 3 week research cruise (JC152) to a study area in the northern North Sea, assisting in state-of-the-art research into the processes controlling the formation and effect of seafloor gas escape chimney structures in relation to active methane escape from sub-seafloor strata and their potential effect on CCS (carbon capture and storage). Ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) data collected during extensive 3D seismic surveying during this research cruise forms the basis of my MSci research project, in which I will use 3D FAST (First Arrival Seismic Tomography) to model the subsurface in our study area in the North Sea to understand the implications of the local geology on active methane leakage from the seafloor and to relate this to hazards affecting carbon sequestration in the near future mitigation of climate change.

• Seismic Processing Work Experience Student

  • Aug 2016 - Aug 2016

  (A single week experience, unpaid, purely to gain an understanding of this industry). • I shadowed members of staff from various departments, learning the basics that underlie seismic processing and being taught the general order of events followed throughout the course of a project. • For the relatively short timescale, I learnt a great amount of important technical knowledge such as the theory behind ghosting, multiples, the Nyquist frequency and both temporal and spatial aliasing. I was also shown ongoing projects and some of the latest developments in the industry. • I came to appreciate the scale of seismic reflection surveying and data processing for oil and gas industry clients, I took interest in it, and can see myself personally being involved with this in the future.
