My current research focuses on porphyry indicator minerals in granite (zircon, apatite, titanite, etc.), igneous petrology, and geodynamics. Meteorite study (evidences of nebular processes, impact events) are an important part of my research work. The geodynamycs of the Urals and Paleozoic orogenic belts has been the topic of my research.
