Research focus

My research work centres on understanding groundwater systems at the catchment scale, with a focus on how contaminants move through fractured and porous aquifers. Within the ADAPT project, I employ physically based 2D and 3D numerical models to explore groundwater recharge, storage dynamics, and the transport of micropollutants under the combined pressures of treated wastewater irrigation and climate change. A key aspect of my research is examining the deep vadose zone as a critical control on long-term water and contaminant storage and migration.

Alongside modelling, I utilize geophysical techniques such as microseismic surveys and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to characterize subsurface structures and identify contaminant pathways. I also conduct Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and apply reactive transport modelling to investigate the behaviour of emerging pollutants, particularly antibiotics, and assess their implications for antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
