I had a PhD in Petrology and Geochemistry from the University of Rennes (France), while studying Archean volcanism. Afterwards I have been developing my expertise in geochemical and isotopic fingerprinting techniques since my first post doc in 1995 in Australia (Monash) on trace element fingerprinting of indicator minerals/metals using pioneer laser ablation-HR-ICP-MS and later on in Germany (Frankfurt) using pioneer MC-ICP-MS. I have moved to GTK since 2008. My research topics mimic the versatility of used analytical techniques and vary from petrology, mineralogy, geochronology, archaeology, hydrogeology to economic geology
