I am a geologist who likes to work on earth's system sciences over geologic time scale. In that journey (last 20 years), I have been lucky to be an exploration geoscientist with petroleum systems roles in the energy industry and found hydrocarbon, but importantly, ran into several brilliant minds across the world and had the opportunity to learn from them as well as study rocks from 3.5 billion years to present day. My motivation is underpinned by a desire to continue to develop my technical and business skills to make the right decisions. In the world where ‘net zero’ and ‘energy transition’ are important issues, I plan to continue to leverage my background in multi-disciplinary integrated geology and expand my experience by working on these questions to further strengthen my skills—both technically and intellectually.
