Hi, I am Eason. I am a postdoc associate at CLEVER Planets at Rice University, TX, working with Rajdeep Dasgupta. Prior to my appointment at Rice, I obtained my PhD at KU Leuven, Belgium, with the supervision of Olivier Namur, co-supervised with Bernard Charlier
. My research interests are in igneous petrology with centers on understanding interior evolution and magmatic processes in rocky planets, with specific topics including:
1) Mantle structure and magmatic differentiation in terrestrial planets
2) Evolution of rocky planetary interiors
3) Crystallization kinetics in magmatic systems
4) Development of thermodynamic background for phase equilibria/trace element partitioning
To carry out my research, I use experimental petrology, thermodynamics, numerical modelling
combined with geochemical and textural analysis.
Besides experimental study, I am very enthusiastic about coding and data analysis, where I develop tools for the petrology/volcanology community. Python is my main coding language, I also have a touch on Matlab, LaTeX, shell scripting and HTML.
