Water Data Science || Water Sustainability
I am a Water Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in Water Science and Technology, specialising in predictive modelling, machine learning, freeze crystallization and real-time data analytics for groundwater, saline wastewater and mine water management. With demonstrated proficiency in Python programming, machine learning, and advanced statistical methodologies, I develop AI-driven solutions for environmental monitoring and resource recovery, with field experience across Africa and Asia. My work spans academic research, industrial technology transfer and international collaboration. As a published researcher and collaborator on interdisciplinary projects, I bring a unique ability to bridge scientific research with practical implementation, advancing data-driven water solutions globally.
In addition to technical expertise, I have experience in lecturing, student supervision, and developing user-focused interfaces, including GUIs and websites. My goal is to equip your organisation with cutting-edge analytical tools and insights to drive smarter, more sustainable decisions, unlocking the full potential of your data.
I have a robust academic foundation in Geology, which began with my undergraduate studies and extended into a master’s degree, where I specialised in Groundwater Modelling and Engineering Geology. During my master’s program, I conducted in-depth research to advance my understanding of geological processes and their application to groundwater systems.
Building on this foundation, I earned a Ph.D. in Water Science and Technology, with a specialization in Water Data Science. This advanced training allowed me to integrate geological expertise with data-driven methodologies, equipping me to address complex challenges in water resource management and environmental sustainability.
My primary focus lies in Mine Water Management within the water sector, where I aim to optimise water usage, treatment, and responsible discharge in mining operations. Beyond this, I extend my expertise to wastewater treatment, agriculture, mining, and engineering.
I contribute to the development of innovative purification processes, the design of sustainable irrigation systems, and the implementation of environmentally responsible mining practices. Additionally, I work to integrate advanced water management principles into engineering projects, ensuring solutions that align with sustainability goals across diverse sectors.
