Curriculum Vitae

I am a University Assistant at the University of Graz, integrating petrology, thermodynamic modelling, and geochronology to explore crustal evolution. My research spans diverse metamorphic terranes, ranging from the Archean Isua Supracrustal Belt to the Variscan and Alpine orogenies. A central focus of my work is investigating the stability of REE- and actinide-bearing accessory phases, such as monazite, allanite and uraninite, in metamorphic rocks. I specifically examine how these minerals grow, stabilize, and partition trace elements during progressive prograde and retrograde metamorphism.
