In my current position, in the Institute for Nuclear Research, my main activity is related to K/Ar radiometric age dating. This method is mainly used to date magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic and some diagenetic processes. I am intensively working on the introduction of the fission track and the 40Ar/39Ar thermochronological methods, as well. These methods will facilitate us to determine the age of thermal events in various geological environments.  

In our lab I also analyse the noble gas isotope ratios of meteorites, mantle xenolites, and fluid inclusions on a MAP-215 noble gas mass spectrometer. On the field of noble gas mass spectrometry we collaborate with the Mineralogical and the Geochemical Departments of the Eötvös Loránd University and the Geochemical Research Institute of the MTA.

Currently my principal research area is the modelling of the subsidence history of deep sedimentary basins based on K/Ar radiometric age dating of authigenic illite.

Previously, I carried out research on the Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization of the Duluth Complex (Minnesota, USA) in frame of a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Graz. I used petrological, geochemical, mineralogical methods microthermometry and sulphur isotope studies to understand the formation and remobilization of the Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization. 

My PhD research topic aimed the investigation of the structural evolution and physico-chemical characteristics of the hydrothermal processes that affected the granite intrusion of the Velence Mts., Hungary. In my research I combined fluid inclusion microthermometry, fluid inclusion plane studies and K/Ar radiometric age dating methods.
