I am a geoscientist at BP currently living in Moscow, Russia. I specialize in holistic petroleum systems analysis and apply my skills in organic geochemistry and numerical basin modeling to find, appraise and produce oil and gas.

My research interests encompass:

- mud volcanoes

- gas hydrates

- geological emissions of methane

- reservoir compartmentalization and surveillance

- methanogenic biodegradation

- oil spill fingerprinting
