Research Interests
- Early Earth processes (e.g. core formation, core-mantle interactions, silicate differentiation)
- Formation of Large Igneous Provinces and the incorporation of different reservoirs (e.g. lower mantle, upper mantle, subcontinental lithospheric mantle, crust)
- Melts from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, their chemical composition, and their interaction with basaltic melts
- The influence of fluids on the element composition of melts
- The interaction of Earth’s first oceans and continents
- High-precision isotope analyses of Lu, Hf, Pb, Nd, Sr, and high-field-strength elements via MC-ICP-MS
- High-precision trace element analyses via ICP-MS
