Research Interest

My fundamental research interest lies in deep structures and dynamics of the planets in our solar system. Earlier in my career I focused on clarification of high-P-T phase relations in H2O, the most abundant end-member component in Uranus and Neptune, mainly using a externally resistive-heated diamond-anvil cell (DAC). I have been trained on an internally resistive-heated DAC during my MSCA project, and updated the system so that it can be used for non-metallic samples. Since 2019, I have been utilizing the internally resistive-heated DAC to put constraints on phase relations in iron-light element systems to understand the nature of the Earth’s core.
