Biography
My research focuses on the intricate world of granite-affiliated metallogenic processes, which pave the path to the economic crustal enrichment of metals such as Cu, Au, W, Sn, U, and others. In particular, I explore the physico-chemical signals for metal (Au, Cu, W, Sn etc.) fertility through various stages of granite evolution and tie up these records with crustal evolution. The main thrust is addressing the factors that promote metal endowment through the course of melt extraction, its evolution and subsequent hydrothermal degassing of magma. I employ a spectrum of methodologies, including, but not limited to, petrological phase equilibria modelling, mineral-chemical analysis, fluid inclusion heating-freezing experiments, and stable isotope measurements.
