I am a graduate student at Oxford working towards a DPhil (PhD) degree in remote sensing.  My research focuses on using remote sensing techniques (satellite, airborne, and ground-based) and digital image processing to detect and explore archaeological sites in Egypt.  This work forms collaborations with archaeology, Oriental studies (Egyptology), earth sciences, and computing.

My research interests are multidisciplinary in nature spanning across earth observation, natural hazards, geophysics, astronomy, and imagery intelligence.  My primary research focus is in the use of remote sensing and image processing to solve complex problems in the earth, environmental, and planetary sciences.  Currently I am working on several projects including the detection of archaeological sites using optical and microwave data from spaceborne and airborne sensors (PhD research), the thermal infrared spectral characteristics of Libyan Desert Glass, and the characterization of seismic data using InSAR techniques.

I specialise in the following areas:

Remote sensing
Digital image processing
Geospatial and imagery intelligence
Geophysical survey techniques, including
subsurface imaging radar and seismics
