Research & Publications

My research focuses on diagenetic transformations and pore-fluid interactions, the evolution of reservoir quality in sedimentary basins, and the application of sedimentology to energy and environmental studies.

I have published significant contributions in some of the most prestigious journals, including Geology, Sedimentology, Journal of Sedimentary Research, Marine and Petroleum Geology, and Sedimentary Geology Journal.

All Publications are available on: 📖 Google Scholar 📘 ResearchGate
