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)
