In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Craton and Paleontology.
The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary depositional environment and Shear zone.
His study in Zircon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metamorphism, Basement, Basalt, Gneiss and Archean.
His Geochronology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Orogeny, Tectonics, Magmatism, Large igneous province and Igneous rock.
The Igneous rock study combines topics in areas such as Proterozoic and Volcanic rock.
The concepts of his Craton study are interwoven with issues in Earth science, Continental margin, Gondwana and Terrane.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Deformation-induced trace element redistribution in zircon revealed using atom probe tomography (97 citations)
- Mapping of bioavailable strontium isotope ratios in France for archaeological provenance studies (63 citations)
- Improvement of laser ablation in situ micro-analysis to identify diagenetic alteration and measure strontium isotope ratios in fossil human teeth (38 citations)
