Scientific interests and investigations
Petrology of magmatic and metamorphic rocks, especially:
Plutonic and vein magmatic rocks: grnitoids and related rocks, gabbroids,
ultramaphites, aplites, pegmatites, lamprophyres (spessartites, wogesites,
minettas) and similar rocks.
Metamorphic rocks: products of the tegional and contact metamorphism.
Use of the chemical compositions of minerals and rocks (major and trace
elements, REE inclusively) for petrogenetic considerations.

Teaching
During last years I delivered the lecture in petrology and I had petrology classes for the 2nd course of the students of Faculty of Geology.
