Research Interests:

I have been working on geochemistry of mafic-ultramafic intrusions and associated Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits and Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits. The research work is aimed to resolve the factors controlling on the segregation of sulfide liquid or oxide melt from the magma and where and why the sulfide liquid or oxide minerals with the metals Ni, Cu, PGE, Ti and V collect. Current research projects include the origin of magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits and Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits in the Emeishan large igneous province of SW China, origin of Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits in the central Asian orogenic belt in North China. These projects involve geochemistry of platinum-group elements and mineral chemistry of olivine, chromite, sulfide and Fe-Ti oxides and focus on the processes of fractionation of magmas in the formation of Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits and Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits.
