L'attività di ricerca é focalizzata sull’utilizzo di metodologie di indagine petrologiche e geochimico-isotopiche che utilizzano elementi in traccia (elementi litofili e siderofili) ed isotopi radiogenici (Sr-Nd-Pb-Os), volte ad indagare la composizione del mantello terrestre, l’origine delle eterogeneità mantelliche, i processi delle zone di subduzione ed i cicli geochimici associati, con particolare riferimento a U-Th-Pb.
In seguito alla vittoria del bando per assegni di ricerca CNR- ECORD - IODP Italia 2021, il suo lavoro sarà incentrato sull’analisi di campioni di peridotiti oceaniche provenienti da varie spedizioni ODP e differenti contesti geodinamici (margini passivi, dorsali oceaniche e zone di sopra-subduzione), al fine di investigare la genesi e l’evoluzione dei domini refrattari ed ultra-refrattari nel mantello terrestre.
Questo nuovo progetto, realizzato in collaborazione con l'Università di Montpellier e lo Steinmann Institute di Bonn, si propone inoltre la messa a punto di traccianti geochimici non convenzionali per lo studio delle peridotiti impoverite.
