Research Interests
- Early Earth processes (e.g., core formation, core-mantle interactions, silicate differentiation)
- Formation and evolution of Earth’s early continental crust and oceans, as well as their interaction
- Preservation of Hadean components in Ocean Island Basalts
- Formation and evolution of Large Igneous Provinces and intraplate volcanism
- Melts from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, their chemical composition, and their interaction with basaltic melts
- Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf geochronology of magmatic and tectonic processes; U-Th-Pb geochronology of gypsum, nitrates, halites, and carbonates
- The influence of fluids on the element composition of melts
- High-precision isotope analyses of 182W, 142Nd, Lu, Hf, Pb, Nd, Sr, and high-field-strength elements via MC-ICP-MS
- High-precision trace element analyses via ICP-MS
