Profile Summary

Professional Summary Innovative and results-oriented Geologist/Geoscientist with 20 years of diverse experience in the natural resources sector, including both technical and administrative roles. Specialized in salt mini-basin systems, lithium development projects across North Africa (from land evaluation through business case formulation), oilfield environmental initiatives including wastewater remediation and flare gas recovery (from sampling to economic reporting and contractor selection), hydrogeological assessment and modeling, asset optimization, sedimentary basin analysis, formation evaluation, and geochemical characterization. Proven expertise in applying advanced analytical techniques, numerical modeling, and geostatistical tools for resource assessment. Recognized for publishing groundbreaking research in peer-reviewed journals and leading multidisciplinary teams across North Africa and Canada. Demonstrated leadership in both industry and academia, with a track record of partnership development and delivering investment-ready project strategies. Professional Skills • Leadership in Mineral Resource Development • Advanced Lithium Recovery & Brine Treatment • Hydrogeology & Groundwater Management • Sustainable Mining Technologies • Regulatory Compliance & Environmental Stewardship • Multidisciplinary Team Leadership & Collaboration KEY INNOVATION Bringing over a decade of progressive technical oil and gas experience within exploration environments, with expertise in conventional reservoir evaluation, international exploration and development projects, and advanced geological data analysis, including the application of a chemostrat approach to improve correlation within complex stratigraphic zones, to deliver detailed appraisals of exploration prospects. Developed and applied a novel geochemical–geostatistical framework for decoding complex salt basin stratigraphy of “Cumberland Basin, Eastern Canada”. This integrative approach combines multi-element geochemical profiling with advanced spatial modeling techniques, improving stratigraphic resolution, reducing interpretation uncertainty, and enhancing predictive accuracy for reservoir and mineral exploration in structurally complex evaporite basins. Developed the interpretation and modeling of Middle Devonian strata in the Murzuq Basin, south Libya, integrating sequence stratigraphy and diagenetic analysis. This work refined depositional models, improved correlation across the basin, and contributed to a more accurate understanding of reservoir quality and distribution.
