Research interests

• Controls on trace element distributions and isotope systematics in accessory minerals to improve understanding of thermometric and thermochronological data
• Field studies of metamorphism and tectonics: using the isotope- and trace-element systematics of accessory- and major minerals to constrain the rates of metamorphic and tectonic processes
• Analytical development of laser ablation ICP-MS techniques and development of mineral standards

Research projects

• Rutile U-Pb thermochronology as a tool to constrain time-resolved cooling histories in orogenic belts
• Assessing the petro-chronological links between garnet and accessory minerals in the deep crust
• Crustal reworking along continental margins: juvenile and ancient crust of the Eastern Ghats Belt, India
