Research:

I have a geochemical background and my PhD concerned the understanding of Earth’s mantle process by the characterization of mantle xenoliths from different African volcanic provinces. After that I have focused my studies in inorganic mass spectrometry. My main research interest is developing new analytical protocols to apply to noble-gas mass spectrometry in order to increase the precision in multi-collector isotopic measurement.
