About my research
From hot lavas to cold pegmatites
My current and past research has focused on the following topics:
-
​The volcanic-plutonic connection in silicic systems
-
The role of the magmatic-hydrothermal transition in the generation of ore deposits
-
The different processes at play in the petrogenesis of A, I, and S-type plutons and pegmatites
-
The use (and limitations) of Ti-thermometry in magmatic-systems
-
Modelling of zircon crystallisation
-
Experimental fulgurites (MSc thesis)
-
Petrogenesis of agpaitic rocks
Methods
I work with a variety of methods, including
-
Insitu geochemical analysis via LA-ICP-MS, FTIR, EPMA, SEM, Raman
-
Fluid inclusions microthermometry
-
ID-TIMS
-
Numerical modelling
