Research Interest
I explore impact processes in context of planetary evolution by developing and measuring geochemical proxies e.g., highly precise elemental and non-traditional stable isotopic variations in associated rocks/products. Additionally, I am interested in elemental/isotopic variations in meteorites to decode early solar system processes.
Analytical Expertise
- High precision elemental concentration determination of Highly Siderophile Elements (Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd, Au) by Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS).
- Radiogenic Isotope systematics of Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, K-Ca.
- Mass dependent non-traditional stable isotope systematics of Ca, Sr, Cr using Double Spike technique.
