DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS

My research to date can be categorized into two main contributions, reserve estimation and
modeling with locally varying features. My advancement of reserve estimation techniques
include tools to generate more accurate reserves for mining applications on a panel scale as
well as a number of publications that deal with reserves for specific mineralogy such as vein
and kimberlite deposits. The second area where I have made significant contributions deals
with the modeling of non-linear features. I have explored multiple solutions to this issue
including: multiple point statistics (M.Sc work) and non-stationary modeling (Ph.D work).
