Research Interests:

• Petrology and geochemistry  of  alkaline-carbonatite complexes.
• Experimental modelling of hydrothermal processes in carbonatite complexes.
• Dissolving and element redistribution in minerals (apatite, pyrochlore, magnetite) during hydrothermal processes.
• The investigation of fenitizaton processes between alkaline magmas and host rocks.
• Stability of ore-forming rare metal minerals in carbonatites.
