  As an assistant Editor at Springer, I am responsible for acquiring and taking care of book projects in various field (petrology, mineralogy, solid Earth, magmatism, planetary formation, geochemistry, geophysics, soil sciences, forensic geology etc).Research, teaching and supervising activities My main project is focused on the lunar mantle/magma ocean. I am studying a new lunar mantle composition (developed by Khan et al., 2006) at lunar pressures and temperatures, in order to determine the crystallization sequence and composition of liquids at various melting degrees. The main conclusion is that the layered structure and lithology are very different than what has been inferred before by previous models. It has dramatic conclusions in terms of mantle convection and volcanic activity. Together with my collegues, I am also using synchrotron facilities in France (ESRF) and in the USA (APS), in order to constrain densities of lunar minerals like ilmenite, and lunar glasses (black glass, green glass) at high pressures and temperatures, in order to put quantitative constrains on convection models. Another of my projects is focused on the Martian early magma ocean. I am experimentally studying the solidification of this magma ocean, comparing wet and dry situations, in order to derive the composition of the early crust and early volcanic products. These results will be compared to the known surface composition of Mars (Martian meteorites, orbiters and rovers on Mars). Early solar system formation: constraints from chondrules and refractory inclusions thermal histories. Advisors: Roger H. Hewins and Francois Robert. Focus: study of the thermal histories of type C calcium and aluminium rich inclusions and aluminium-rich chondrules in chondritic meteorites and the genetic relationship between CAIs and chondrules in order to better understand early solar system formation; also development of a new method to constrain cooling rate on chondrules with diffusion profiles obtained by very precise NanoSIMS analysis. Main conclusion: Comparisons of natural Al-rich chondrules with our experimental charges yields a range of peak temperatures of ~1400-1500°C, and cooling rates of 5-500°C/hr, conditions similar to the lower end of those of ferromagnesian chondrules (peak temperature: 1450-1850°C; cooling rate: 10-1000°C/hr). We also found that the textures of Type C CAI can be reproduced with temperatures of 1400-1450°C and cooling rate lower than 100°C/hr. There is an obvious continuum in formation conditions from type B CAIs to ferromagnesian chondrules passing through type C CAIs and aluminous chondrules if we consider a closed system. This can be due to continuous time formation and/or their distance to the sun. St Ignatius Gymnasium, Amsterdam
