Curriculum vitae [pdf]

Main areas of research

• mineralogy of solid mine wastes; environmental mineralogy
• mineralogy and structural crystallography of arsenic oxo-compounds
• crystallography of secondary minerals and mineral-like inorganic compounds (mostly oxo-salts of As, V, P and S)
• synthesis of inorganic materials using low-temperature hydrothermal and/or ionothermal method structure-property relationships
