Function and Responsibilities:

I am a researcher specializing in high-pressure geoscience, where I use the laser-heated diamond anvil cell to investigate the behavior of iron-rich bridgmanite under extreme conditions, simulating those in Earth’s lower mantle. My work centers on understanding how different iron oxidation states, specifically Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺, influence the mineral's thermal and electrical conductivity. By analyzing high-pressure and high-temperature spectra, I aim to clarify the role of bridgmanite in heat and charge transport, which is crucial for modeling mantle dynamics and understanding Earth’s thermal evolution.
