Investigating the physical and chemical behavior of magmatic melts at high pressure and temperature,                with implications for magma transport, planetary differentiation, and deep mantle processes.

Studying the mechanisms of intermediate and deep-focus earthquakes, including transformational faulting,                thermal runaway, and stress localization in subducting slabs.

Conducting high-pressure experiments to understand phase equilibria, element partitioning, and                geochemical evolution of Earth and planetary interiors.

Developing and applying advanced large volume press (LVP) techniques combined with in-situ                synchrotron measurements to simulate extreme conditions of the deep Earth and other terrestrial planets.
