Research Area
I am specialized in conducting research in the field of ore deposits related to the igneous system such as platinum group elements (PGE), chromite and Ni-Cu-sulfides. It involves petrology, geochemistry and isotopic studies of the ultramafic-mafic rocks. In addition, I address the issues related to chemical evolution of the Earth’s mantle.
