Research interests:
- Structural crystallography, particularly the solution of crystal structures of minerals, with a view to developing
hierarchical schemes of structure architecture.
M.Sc. and Ph.D. projects available.
- Crystal chemistry, particularly the application of structure refinement spectroscopy and microprobe analysis to
the solution of petrogenetic problems involving ferromagnesian minerals.
