My research interests involve two main areas: the geochemistry of mineral surfaces and their reactivity with metal complexes in aqueous solutions, and structure-property relationships of silicate liquids and glasses. The former area has bearing on environmental geochemistry and contaminant transport in natural waters, whereas the latter focuses on the high-temperature geochemistry of silicate magmas and their trace elements. In both areas, my students and I utilize various types of macroscopic and modern microscopic measurement.
