Intérêts de recherche

Dans mes recherches, je m'intéresse en particulier aux matières premières minérales, en me concentrant sur les gisements de minerais dont sont extraits le platine, le cobalt, le nickel, l'or et le cuivre. Ceux-ci comptent entre autres parmi les matières premières dites critiques et jouent un rôle décisif dans le développement technologique ainsi que dans la transition énergétique. Je m'intéresse principalement à la formation de ces gisements de minerais et à la question de savoir dans quels minéraux ces matières premières se trouvent.
