Research interests: Understanding the petrogenesis of volcanic rocks in subduction zone settings.
Using geochemical, isotopic and petrological tools to place constraints on magmatic source components and to determine differentiation processes operating at volcanoes.
U-Th-Ra and Sr-Nd isotopic analysis of Vanuatu arc lavas to investigate timescales of magma formation, transport and storage at Lopevi Volcano Hf and O isotope ratios of volcanic rocks.
The geodynamic evolution of arc systems (Sunda arc, Indonesia); geochemical constraints on sub-volcanic structure

Working areas: Vanuata arc
Sunda arc
