Current Research

I am now pursuing precious metal ores in various geologic setting; especially gold in island arc-

related ores (volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits and Au-quartz veins in island arc granitoids

and volcanics). I am also studying the rare earth elements (REE) in metamorphic minerals from

metapelites as a potential source of these strategic metals.

I am applying various analytical techniques like electron microrobe, and laser ablation (LA-ICP-

MS).
