I graduated in December 2022 with a Ph.D. degree in geology and geochemistry at the University of Strasbourg (France).
The main goals of my Ph.D. thesis were to (i) constrain the processes of mantle exhumation related to ocean opening at rifted passive margins, (ii) characterize sources of fluid leading to serpentinization, and (iii) quantify mass fluxes and particularly the transfer of transition metals during serpentinization. To achieve this, I combined petrological and geochemical analyses of natural serpentinites collected in the Alpine Tethys ophiolites and conducted serpentinization experiments.
Since September 2023, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the EPS department of the University of California, Berkeley. My current research focuses on hydrogen bulk and clumped isotopes with the aim to characterize the molecular properties of hydrogen gas which are unconstrained (rates of D2 exchange) or not constrained using modern techniques (hydrogen isotopic equilibrium in H2O(l)-H2(g) system).
