Postdoctoral Researcher as part of CRC1211 subproject D03
Research Interests
My past research focused on understanding the Earth's mantle through isotope geochemistry, using ocean island basalts as least-evolved proxies. In particular I am fascinated by the interaction of physical and chemical processes that shape planetary and climate evolution, both at the meso- and macro-scale. I am currently working on high-precision analyses of U-series and U-Pb isotopes of samples from the Atacama Desert as part of CRC1211: Evolution at the Dry Limit. This dating work will provide crucial anchors for the wider project to better determine the evolution of the Atacama.
