Short presentation
I am a petrologist studying deep crustal metamorphism, focusing on mineral, fluid, and melt inclusions, fluid–rock interaction, and accessory minerals at high pressure. My research contributes to understanding the redistribution of elements during crustal reworking and subduction-related processes. I am affiliated with the Smart Exploration Research Centre, where I integrate petrological insights into the broader context of the sustainable supply of critical raw materials.
