Interest: Geology/ Wastewater impact on the UK rivers, mainly water analysis by R language and ArcGIS.

I am a PhD student at Durham University, specializing in the environmental impacts of wastewater discharges on UK rivers. My research primarily focuses on water quality analysis through advanced statistical tools such as R and spatial data visualization using ArcGIS.I am also a demonstrator, assisting undergraduate students in geochemistry and earth science courses at Durham University.I have presented my research at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference and is currently preparing papers on sewage treatment impacts, metal bioavailability, and chlorophyll dynamics in England. Outside academia, I am an active member of the St. Cuthbert’s Society Hockey team and Durham University Tennis Club.
