Geoscientist with an international and multidisciplinary education and mindset. With a doctorate in fluid dynamics and extensive experience in programming, code development, data analysis & visualisation, I aspire to tackle complex problems and create data-driven solutions with a real world impact.
In this study, we explored the formation of strong, dehydrated, buoyant, and stable continental roots as a result of naturally occurring different tectonic processes. We incorporated solubility maps to control water ingassing/outgassing and implemented the evolution of magnesium number (Mg#) to get low-density residue after melting.

While the formation of present-day continental crust is largely understood, the genesis of primoridal crust (Archean TTG rocks) and the onset of plate tectonics remain enigmatic. In this project, we implemented a melting parametrisation to create primordial crust self-consistently within a global and evolutionary thermochemical mantle convection model.

In this project, we developed new tools to quantify the time-dependent correlation between continents and the subcontinental mantle temperatures and applied them to a range of incompressible and compressible thermochemical convection models. Furthermore, we investigated the possible origin of continental flood basalts.

The relative importance of plutonism and volcanism towards generating primordial continental crust is investigated with the aid of global thermochemical mantle convection models. We observed that intrusion-dominated magmatism results in hotter geotherms and the production of various Archean TTG rocks as reported from geological data.
