I specialize in the study of geodynamics within orogenic belts involving their formation and evolutionary history. My research primarily utilizes petrological, geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic methods to examine magmatic activities. Recently, my interests have shifted towards the early Earth, with a focus on tectonics, environment, and the origin of life. My current research is centered around the recycling of nutrient elements like carbon, phosphorus, and trace metals throughout Earth's history.
