Research Interests

Igneous and experimental petrology

​

Large silicic systems:

​

  • Mineralogy and geochemistry of large silicic pumiceous eruptions to delineate the dynamics and evolution of the magmatic plumbing system of volcanoes

  • Study of crystal textures and composition (zoning)

  • Crystal System Analysis as a new approach to identify crystals populations and zoning patterns

  • Timescales of reactivation and assemblage of magmas in large silicic eruptions

  • Intra-crystalline diffusion modelling (Fe-Mg in orthopyroxene, Mg in plagioclase) to decipher timescales of pre-eruptive plumbing system processes

Technical-professional skills

Hawaiian Volcanism:

  • EPMA (Electron Probe Micro-Analyser)- CAMECA and JEOL

  • IHPV (Internallly Heated Pressure Vessel)

  • UV Camera

  • FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)

Softwares:

  • Microsoft Office (Word, Power Point, Excel)

  • Matlab

  • Illustrator

  • Photoshop
