Focus and Areas of Research and/or Interest in Economic Geology
My research interest and passion lies in predicting magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits from Archean to Cenozoic by understanding the three critical elements of mineral system, including architecture, fertility and transient geodynamics. My work involves multi-disciplinary and multi-scale research to unravel the three elements leading to ore formation in Archean cratons and Cenozoic orogens.
