Technical Mineralogy, Material Science

My research interest are in material science and health aspects of minerals and rocks. Projects cover topics such as structure and properties of grainboundaries in ceramic materials, synthesis and application of synthetic and natural nanotube materials. characterization, exposure and transport of submicronic mineral dust particles and asbestos fibers as well as structure and evolution of serpentine minerals and serpentinites . Courses in technical mineralogy, microanalytical techniques and surface science accompany the research effort.
