Overview

Zoltán Zajacz is affiliated with the University of Geneva in Switzerland and has contributed extensively to the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a particular focus on Geophysics, Artificial Intelligence, Geochemistry and Petrology, Biomedical Engineering, and Inorganic Chemistry.

Their research spans multiple topics primarily centered around Geological and Geochemical Analysis, Geochemistry and Geologic Mapping, High-pressure geophysics and materials, Metal Extraction and Bioleaching, Radioactive element chemistry and processing, Geochemistry and Elemental Analysis, and Mineralogy and Gemology Studies.

Zajacz has published numerous papers in notable scientific journals, with recent works including:

  • Multiple Self-Trapped Emissions in the Lead-Free Halide Cs3Cu2I5 (2020, The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters)
  • Magmatic-hydrothermal tin deposits form in response to efficient tin extraction upon magma degassing (2021, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta)
  • Sulfur and chlorine budgets control the ore fertility of arc magmas (2022, Nature Communications)
  • The solubility of gold and palladium in magmatic brines: Implications for PGE enrichment in mafic-ultramafic and porphyry environments (2021, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta)
  • The partitioning behavior of Mo during magmatic fluid exsolution and its implications for Mo mineralization (2022, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta)

Zajacz frequently publishes in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, with a total of 14 publications there. Other venues include Goldschmidt Abstracts, Economic Geology, American Mineralogist, and Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America.

Co-authorship is an important aspect of Zajacz's research output, collaborating most often with Alexandra Tsay, Panlao Zhao, Shunda Yuan, Robert J. Bodnar, and Carter Grondahl.
