Interests

I study how methane moves and escapes throughout the energy system, from subsurface wells and coal seams to pipelines and LNG terminals, and how these leakage processes affect climate and air quality. My expertise combines experimental and computational characterization of leakage pathways using CT imaging and finite element modelling with satellite remote sensing, in-situ gas measurements, and data-driven emission analysis. I also investigate the techno-economic and policy dimensions of methane mitigation across the natural gas value chain. This integrated approach helps industry and governments develop more effective monitoring frameworks and emission reduction technologies for a cleaner energy future.
