ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE TEAM
I am one of two technicians tasked with hosting the laboratory’s mutualised microscopy/mineralogy platform which brings together instruments for microscopy, microspectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction, thermogravimetry and granulometry, as well as all associated preparation equipment/techniques.
My research activity focuses on understanding the mechanisms of biomineralisation in shells and molluscs, and also on the processes of diagenesis/taphonomy that can affect them.
