In nature, both sedimentary and igneous rocks commonly contain a multitude of different magnetic minerals – in sediments mixtures of magnetic minerals are of great interest since each of them can possible be used to trace different environmental or geographical sources, while in igneous rocks they play an important role in understanding the origins of magnetic remanence components and the tectonics and geodynamic implications.

Through numerical forward modelling, novel experimental protocols and theoretical work, I have developed new ways to detect, distinguish and separate signals from magnetic mineral mixtures.
