# overview
I am an expert in rock mechanics. My research interests in this field include initiating the oriented perforation technique for reducing sanding; clarifying the complex mechanism of onset of sand production; and developing new methods of casing design under geotechnical loading and new fluid loss control materials reducing formation damage.
