Postdoctoral Researcher

I am an SNSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge. I am interested in understanding the evolution of the early Earth and the formation of mantle heterogeneities. I am currently working on OIBs to understand the time-dependent recycling of surface material into the mantle and the role it played in the formation of the Earth's enriched mantle domains.

Research

Non-traditional stable and radiogenic isotopes

Early Earth

Crustal recycling

Komatiites
