About Me
I obtained a cotutelle PhD between Lorraine University/CRPG and Macquarie University. During my PhD, I worked on the formation and the evolution of FeNi metal phases in the Early Solar System. To do so, I analysed germanium isotopes and siderophile elements in Ordinary and Bencubbinite primitive chondrites. I am currently working as a research scientist with the TRR 170 Project B1 at the Institute of Geological Sciences, Freie Universität Berlin.
My main research interests are,
- Lunar volatiles and moon formation
- Fractionation of moderately volatile elements during condensation/volatilization and planetesimal differentiation
- Mineral formation in the early solar system
Recent project work
My research within the TRR-170 project consists in the study of lunar highland rocks and mare basalts through the scope of Zn-K-Cu stable isotope signature. The choice of these three elements relies on their different volatility and chemical characteristics (siderophile, chalcophile, and lithophile). For our analyses, we will take advantage of cutting-edge Neoma MC-ICP-MS technics of the Freie Universität to produce new high-quality isotopic data of Moon rocks. The goal is to understand the origin of loss processes that affect volatile elements in lunar rocks.
