Faryad's recent publications showcase their engagement with various aspects of metamorphic geology and high-pressure environments. Notable papers include:

  • High-temperature overprint in (U)HPM rocks exhumed from subduction zones; A product of isothermal decompression or a consequence of slab break-off (slab rollback)?, 2020, Earth-Science Reviews
  • Advantages and Limitations of Combined Diffusion-Phase Equilibrium Modelling for Pressure-Temperature-Time History of Metamorphic Rocks, 2022, Journal of Petrology
  • Constraining the P-T path of (U)HP rocks with reaction overstepping during subduction; example from the Western Gneiss Region (Norway), 2022, Journal of Metamorphic Geology

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Jan Kulhánek, Radim Jedlička, Josef Ježek, Simon Cuthbert, and Martin Svojtka.

Faryad's work has appeared in numerous publication venues with multiple contributions to:

  • Journal of Metamorphic Geology
  • Earth-Science Reviews
  • Journal of Petrology
  • Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
  • Journal of Geodynamics

Their research often integrates geological and geochemical analysis methods to explore metamorphic processes, pressures, and temperature histories within subduction zones and high-pressure metamorphic rocks. This emphasis on high-pressure geophysics aligns with their contributions to understanding complex tectonic and metamorphic conditions.
