Ruiguang Pan works in Dr. Chen Zhu’s lab. His research mainly focuses on the thermodynamics and kinetics of fluid-rock interactions. He is developing an internally consistent thermodynamic database for modeling rare earth element minerals and aqueous species. Dr. Pan is also working on the experimental study of the reactivity of the mineral zircon, using isotope doping and SIMS technologies. For his doctoral dissertation, he studied metamorphic petrology and thermodynamic modeling.
