Research interests

My research interests are as follows:

  • Petrology and geochemistry of granitoids

  • Geochronology and isotopic geology

  • Timing of events and continental crust evolution

  • Lithospheric dynamics

My research project is associated to an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship and it is focussed on determine the mechanisms of zircon survival in the mantle and mantle-derived rocks. To establish conditions of zircon stability, I aim to carry out experiments at high T and P in polyphase and partially molten silica undersaturated systems.

The experimental results will provide a better understanding of zircon systematics in mafic and ultramafic systems and a valuable information about crustal growth and recycling mechanism.
