Research Interests
My research interests center around chemical and temporal evolution of the Earth's mantle and core as well as the late accretion in the solar system. I study radiogenic isotope systems, including Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Pb, Pb-Pb, Re-Os, and Pt-Os, and lithophile and highly siderophile element abundances in various types of materials derived from diverse geological processes, using inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry and thermal iuonization mass-spectrometry.
