Overview
About
I'm a mineralogist with a background in exploration for both gold and diamonds, and currently run the Electron Microprobe Laboratory. My research interests include the compositions and classification of rock-forming minerals, the mineralogy of uranium, the crystal structures of minerals and inorganic materials, and the mineralogy of alkaline intrusions.
