Research areas
I am visiting post doc funded by the Swedish Research Council. My research focuses on the micro- to mesoscale deformation associated with the movement of magma in plutons. Specifically, I am interested in the link between deformation and melt and element migration in magma. In order to study these processes, I combine techniques used to characterise the fabric in rocks, such as Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) with geochemical and petrological methods.
