I am currently working at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the Geochemistry and Economic Geology Group. My reseach focus is petrology, mineralogy, fluid chemistry and geology of ore deposit. My ongoing work is mainly concerned with the genesis of magmatic and hydrothermal HFSE mineralization of carbonatites and associated alkaline silicate rocks. Moreover, my work is focused on ore forming processes in unconformity-related hydrothermal vein type deposits.
