Roman Botcharnikov

Roman Botcharnikov is a researcher at the Department of Petrology, Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. His work focuses on experimental petrology, magmatic processes, and geochemical analysis of melt inclusions and volcanic systems. He employs advanced techniques like electron microprobe analysis, XANES spectroscopy, and fluid inclusion experiments to study magma evolution, volatile solubility, and metal mobilization.

• Research Interests: Experimental petrology, melt inclusion analysis, sulfide systems, iron oxidation states, and magmatic-hydrothermal fluid interactions.
• Collaborations: Works with teams studying geoarchaeology, hydrogeochemistry, and volcanology. Collaborators include experts in XANES, LA-ICP-MS, and thermodynamic modeling.

Recent Article Trends: His recent publications investigate ion substitution in beryl, Fe oxidation in olivine-hosted inclusions, and REE transfer mechanisms. These studies bridge experimental petrology with natural systems in collision zones and layered intrusions.

Student Advising: Mentors students like Stepan Krashenninikov and Antonia Simon in petrological and mineralogical research.
