PhD Title: Experimental Constraints on the Genesis of Rare-Metal Granites and Pegmatites

I am a second year PhD student with an interest on the genesis of Li-rich, felsic melts. My research focuses on the formation of rare-metal granites and pegmatites by the partial melting of metasediments and subsequent fractional crystallization. I perform melting experiments on Li-rich metasediments to investigate the enrichment of rare-metals in the partial melt. I further perform crystallization experiments to constrain mineral-melt partition coefficients in peraluminous, granitic systems. I use these experimental results to model Li-enrichment during partial melting and fractional crystallization. I am also interested in investigating the volcanic and subvolcanic equivalents of Li-rich, peraluminous granites to better constrain rare-metal distribution during crystallization.
