My research interest is related to field of
mineralogy,
geochemistry and petrology. Thereby my research interests are focused
on, geothermal processesand geothermal energy, aqueous geochemistry,
very-low temperature metamorphism, mineral replacement, alteration
during water-rock interaction in hydrothermal systems in
metamorphic and igneous rocks as well during clastic
diagenesis. My experience is in a
long-range
in different
local setting as well as in different geological environments.
Research results are published in
international journals. In generally my research projects are based on
fieldwork in igneous and metamorphic provinces combined with analytic
techniques (EMPA, XRD, XRF, LA-ICPMS, Stable isotope geochemistry,
Fluid Inclusion, FTIR, DSC-TGA, Ar/Ar dating and
apatite FT) and thermodynamic modelling.
