RESEARCH AREAS
I investigate migmatites and granulites to understand anatexis and fluid regime of the deep continental crust and their impact on granite magmatism and crustal differentiation. My main interest lies on how crustal magmas are formed and how their composition (major, trace and volatile elements) may change before segregation from the source to form granites. At the moment I am working on melt and fluid inclusions in peritectic garnet from ultrahigh temperature granulites and also on highly silicic volcanics rocks to probe their origin and volatile budget.
