My research focuses on crystallochemistry of minerals and their significance in terms of conditions training . The objects studied are varied: terrestrial and meteorite minerals, impact glass , biominerals, gem materials or synthetic materials. The tools needed to study these small, complex phases are the electron microscopy scanning or transmission, in association with other high spatial resolution chemical and structural characterisation techniques (EDS and WDS microanalysis, electron diffraction, Raman, LA-ICP-MS, etc.). I teach endogenous petrology, analytical techniques and planetology in various AMU courses at bachelor's and master's levels.
