I am a sedimentary geologist, currently working on the sedimentology of Miocene coastal and coastal plain sedimentary facies of Malaysia, with focus on their application in hydrocarbon reservoir characterization and development. I am also interested in Malaysian geologic history, palaeontology and stratigraphy, particularly Palaeozoic depositional settings of Sibumasu and how they relate to tectonic history. I am currently undertaking a project on the sedimentology of modern-day coastal depositional environments around Malaysia. I have extensive field experience in Malaysia (Langkawi, Perlis, Pahang, Sarawak), UK (Dorset Jurassic Coast) and in the US (Book Cliffs, Utah). I have taught and demonstrated on field courses for the BSc programme and the MSc in Petroleum Geology course at the University of Malaya, and also the MSc course at Imperial College London. I have worked on subsurface cores representing Neogene coastal-coastal plain deposits from both the Malay and Sarawak basins for the petroleum industry, covering more than 2 km in thickness. I trained as a graptolite and dacryoconarid palaeontologist under the tutelage of Bernd Erdtmann at Technische Universitat Berlin and as a stratigrapher under Lee Chai Peng at UM. I am a student of facies analysis and studied under Howard Johnson at Imperial College, London. I worked in the Basin Studies Group of the Petroleum Management Unit, PETRONAS in 2005, mainly working on foram and nannoplankton-based sequence biostratigraphy of the Sarawak Basin.
