I am interested in a wide range of experimental, analytical, theoretical, studies with the primary objective of understanding the physical and chemical processes controlling the origin and evolution of igneous rocks.

Experimental and theoretical studies of bubble nucleation and growth in silicate melts

Experimental and theoretical studies of alkaline basalts

Decompressional melting in the mantle

Oxidation-reduction reactions in silicate melts


Volatiles in magmas

Laboratory


Experimental Equipment: My experimental geochemistry lab is equipped with seven cold-seal pressure vessels, one-atmosphere Deltech furnace, 4-Kb Heskel high-pressure, high-temperature pressure vessel and 10-Kb internally heated high-pressure, high-temperature pressure vessel. This equipment together with a chemical lab and with computer facilities offers opportunities to study various geochemical processes in igneous
rocks.


Analytical Equipment
: The department of Geology has XRD, XRF facilities and fluid inclusion study equipment. In addition, we have access to the SEM, TEM and Electron microprobe labs that are located in the Materials Science department.
