Hi, I am Eason. I am a postdoc associate at CLEVER Planets at Rice University, TX, working with Rajdeep Dasgupta
My research interests mostly focus on igneous petrology and applications in Earth and planetary sciences:
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.
I did my PhD with Olivier Namur, co-supervised with Bernard Charlier. My PhD projects focus on using high temperature high pressure facilities to understand the differentiation and thermal structure of large igneous provinces (LIPs) and 3D textural analysis of minerals to reveal dynamic magmatic processes.
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.
