Research Interests
My main research interests include: Understanding the origin and evolution of the terrestrial planets through the application of geochemical techniques. Use of geochemical tools to unravel the major differentiation processes throughout Earth’s history. Study of the dynamics of orogenic cycles through a combination of geochronology, metamorphic petrology and structural geology. Development of new geochemical approaches and laboratory techniques.
