OVERVIEW
I am a groundwater scientist and university lecturer whose work integrates numerical modelling, isotope hydrogeology, and field-based investigations to solve applied water problems in southern Africa. My research focuses on groundwater system characterisation, contaminant transport, recharge processes, and groundwater age, with a growing emphasis on tracer-integrated numerical modelling. Alongside research, I teach core modules in hydrogeology, environmental isotopes, and field methods; supervise MSc and PhD candidates; and contribute to programme development. I engage extensively with industry through consulting and professional training, including serving as an official FEFLOW trainer in Africa, and hold leadership roles on the GWD-GSSA and IAH-SA executive committees.
