About me
A bit about me.
I am a geologist and PhD researcher at KU Leuven interested in how different types of geological evidence can be brought together to better understand complex Earth processes.
My work combines mineralogical, textural, geochemical and imaging data to study LCT pegmatites and the processes that shaped them.

Background & education
My path into
geology and data.
From thin sections to planetary datasets, my work has focused on extracting geological insight from different kinds of observations.
Early research on alkaline igneous rocks showed me how minerals, textures and geochemistry preserve the history of magmatic systems.
Later, working with hyperspectral and radar data from Mars highlighted the value of combining complementary datasets to uncover information that would otherwise remain hidden or be difficult to interpret.
Today, I apply the same perspective in my PhD, integrating multiple sources of evidence to improve the characterization of LCT pegmatites and better understand the processes that shaped them.
