Research interests

My research interests lie broadly in the field of geochemistry and petrology with particular emphasis on isotope and elemental microanalysis. Currently my research focuses on the characterization of magmatic systems, from magma generation and source processes to magma transport, evolution, and eruptive behaviour. In short, my research aims at advancing our understanding of magmatic systems from their roots to the surface. In this context, I am applying a combination of different methods including traditional petrology and petrography, mineral (-melt) thermobarometric modelling, and isotopic analytical techniques. My study areas currently include Cameroon, the Canary Islands, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, and the Andes.
