My experience ranges from Appalachian orogenic gold, to Zn and Pb exploration in Arctic shales, to isotope and trace element geochemistry in volcanic iron oxide deposits, with a solid education in geology. My research is focused on iron oxide-copper-gold and iron oxide-apatite mineralization in the Chilean Iron Belt. I use trace elements and isotopes in iron oxides to test current genetic models. Current sample sites include Mantoverde Mine, Candelaria Mine, El Laco Mine, Cerro Negro Mine, Mariella Ignacia Mine, Carmen Mine, and others. I completed my PhD program in economic geology at the University of Michigan. I completed my B.S. in geology at the University of South Carolina, with courses taken while visiting the University of Olso and Northern Arizona University.

As a development geoscientist at Khalda Petroleum, I apply my geoscience expertise to optimize reservoir performance and enhance oil recovery for one of the leading oil and gas operators in Egypt. I have over 16 years of experience in the industry, with a Ph.D. in Geophysics and a Master's Degree in Structural Geology and Tectonics from reputable Egyptian universities. <br> My core competencies include well logging interpretation, well correlation, reservoir modeling, seismic interpretation, and pore pressure prediction. I use advanced software tools such as IP, Petrel, Decision Space, ARCGIS, ERDAS Imagine, PCI Geomatica, and Open Works for subsurface and surface geological applications and data management. In addition, I share my knowledge and passion for geoscience as a part-time lecturer of structural and stratigraphic seismic interpretation courses at several Egyptian universities. I am always eager to learn new technologies and methods to improve my skills and deliver value to my company and the industry.
