For my PhD project I am developing analytical methods for Rb-Sr geochronology and common Pb isotope analysis by in-situ LA-MC-ICPMS/MS. I am applying these methods to Precambrian granitoids and extraterrestrial rocks to gain new insights into the geodynamic evolution of early Earth and other solar system bodies.
Research interests
- Radiogenic isotope geochemistry
- Early Earth geodynamics
- Mantle & igneous petrology
Analytical expertise
- Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS)
- Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA)
