He is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Postdoctoral Fellow. His research encompasses many aspects of offshore geotechnics and soil behaviour, from the initial characterisation of the seabed, to novel mechanism‐based analysis tools to quantify the response of foundations and anchors for design. His research blends physical modelling, using the UWA centrifuge facilities, with numerical analysis and field observations, and provides solutions in terms of design tools and mitigation measures for associated problems.
