As a researcher, my primary professional focus lies in exploring and comprehending the intricacies of planetary functionality, from the outermost layer of their surface to their unfathomable depths, spanning from the time of their tumultuous formation to their gradual decay. My interdisciplinary focus delves into the physics and chemistry of planetary minerals, such as silicates, oxides, and metallic alloys, supported by experiments and thermodynamics. The objective of my research is to replicate the harsh environmental conditions that exist on these celestial bodies within the confines of a laboratory setting, allowing the properties of matter to be studied in situ. To achieve this feat, I employ cutting-edge technologies like diamond anvil cells alongside resistive heating, laser heating or powerful cryostats. Throughout the course of my career, I have conducted extensive research on major mineral components of the deep Earth and Mars, as well as a novel crystals of potential technological interests.
