Biography

I am a Research fellow /Assistant Professor at CET since April 2008. Initially, I joined the Iron Ore Group of Professor Steffen Hagemann working on a 2-year industry sponsored project on Archean BIF-hosted, high-grade iron ores in the northern part of the Southern Cross Province. The application of structural geology and alteration mapping led to the first comprehensive documentation of orogenic-controlled BIF-hosted iron ore deposits in the Yilgarn craton, is a major step towards the understanding of Archean iron ore system. Since July 2010, I am involved in a post-doctoral project in the Peruvian Eastern Cordillera studying a Greenfield Porphyry-hosted Gold prospect.
I did my Geology degree (diploma) at Universities of Frankfurt (2001) and my PhD in Heidelberg (2007) mainly on low-grdae metamorphic/ structural geology topics.

Key research

1) BIF-hosted Iron Ore System of the Yilgarn craton (Brownfield ore genesis and exploration)

2) Porphyry-hosted Gold in Eastern Cordillera, Peru (Greenfield ore genesis and exploration)
