My research interest has evolved from metamorphic petrology towards (micro)structural geology, placing emphasis on the role of fluid-rock interactions and deformation caused by seismic activity under high-pressure conditions. I utilize various techniques such as thermobarometry, thermodynamic modeling, EBSD and µ-CT, as well as U-Pb and Ar/Ar geochronological techniques. So far, the results of my research have been applied to understanding the geodynamics of Scandinavia, Svalbard, and the Greenland Caledonides.
*Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Momentum programme in Andalusian Earth Science Institute (IACT-CSIC; Spain). I am developing advanced numerical modeling tools to improve our understanding of volatile exchanges and redox reactions in the Earth’s deep interior under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. This project focuses on efficiently integrating Gibbs free energy minimization (GFEM) with reactive transport models, leveraging AI techniques.
