Researcher
About me
I completed my Master degree and my PhD at the University of Rennes 1 in France. My Master and PhD research focused on the metamorphic evolution of the Variscan belt in France (Pyrenees and Massif Central) by combining petrology and geochronology.
During my post-doc at the Center of Lithospheric Research (started in June 2021) I will pursue my research in metamorphic petrology and the study of the Variscan belt. In the meantime, I will broaden my interest by carrying geochemical investigation and working in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt of Mongolia.
Research interest
- Petrology and thermodynamic modelling of metamorphic rocks.
- Effect of metamorphism on geochronometers.

Campaign-style geochronology of pre- to syn-collisional Devonian basins of the Variscan Orogenic Belt

The Variscan Orogenic Belt developed in response to Devonian-Carboniferous collision between Laurussia and Gondwana and closure of the early Paleozoic Rheic Ocean. Although there is little dispute regarding these large-scale paleogeographic elements a long-lasting and persistent controversy exists regarding the existence, provenance and pre-orogenic distribution of smaller terranes and oceanic basins that occupy the collision zone. Owing to the relatively small size of these elements, their existence cannot be tested by paleomagnetic or paleontological methods.
Principal mechanisms of peripheral continental growth during supercontinent cycle

The growth of eastern Pangea involves three contrasting orogenic cycles: 1) Baikalian cycle (570-540 Ma) consists of accretion of peri-Rodinian continental, Mirovoi and Panthalassan oceanic fragments to the Siberian margin followed by extensional HT reworking, the growth of magmatic arc, giant accretionary wedge and intraoceanic basin. 2) Altai cycle is typified by crustal thickening followed by syn-extensional melting of the accretionary wedge (420-380 Ma) and the opening of Mongol-Okhotsk ocean.
