Ausgebildet in magmatischer Petrologie und anorganischer Geochemie, begann ich meine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn mit der Untersuchung von Prozessen der Mantelschmelze und magmatischen Differenzierung in mittelozeanischen Rücken und Backarc-Becken. In den letzten zehn Jahren lag der Schwerpunkt meiner Forschung auf hydrothermalen Systemen und ihrer Bedeutung für globale geochemische Kreisläufe. Mein Forschungsansatz ist eine Kombination aus instrumenteller Analytik, petrographischen Beobachtungen und thermodynamischer Modellierung. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Wechselwirkungen zwischen Flüssigkeit und Gestein und ihrer Rolle bei der Bildung von Metallablagerungen und der Entwicklung mikrobieller Lebensräume.
