My research interests focus on high
temperature terrestrial geochemistry and the
development and application of SIMS microanalysis of accessory minerals
and melt inclusions. This aims to better understand the evolution of
continental crust and processes in crustal magma chambers, and has
implications on volcanic hazards and geothermal energy potentials.
