Total Experience (Years) 2
Research Experience (Years) 8
Date Of Joining 03/02/2024
Brief Information I focus on mineralogy and geochemistry including Sr-Nd isotopes to investigate magma chamber processes and the evolution of the Earth's mantle. My research also explores the evolution of the continental crust and geodynamic re-organization of tectonic plates, which significantly contributes to the formation of mineral deposits. Additionally, I teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Igneous Petrology, Geochemistry, Economic Geology, Mineral Exploration, and Mining Geology.
