Research:
My research covers several aspects of Petrology and Geochemistry, with a focus on evolution of lithospheric mantle and starting time of Plate tectonic. I have worked on research projects in the Siberian craton, North China Craton, Greenland (the list seems to grow by the year). I’ve recently been working on origin of eclogites from Obn kimberlite, Siberian craton.
