Education and Appointments：

By using both radiogenic (e.g., Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf and Re-Os) and stable (e.g., Li and O) isotopes, my researches aim to understand the compositional and temporal evolution of the Earth’s upper mantle, e.g., oceanic and continental mantle. A variety of samples have been used, including abyssal peridotites, ophiolitic peridotites and mantle xenoliths.
