Research interests: Igneous petrology, with emphasis on experimental investigations of processes of formation of terrestrial and extraterrestrial basaltic magmas and of terrestrial mantle xenoliths. Areas of major concentration include experimental constraints on formation of martian and lunar primitive basalts, subduction- and rift-related magmas, very low-degree silicate melts as mantle metasomatic agents, and systematics of garnet-liquid trace element partitioning.
