معرفی
Peter Horváth is an Adjunct Professor in Earth Sciences at Furman University, with a focus on metamorphic petrology, mineral chemistry, and phase equilibrium modeling. His work spans field studies, lab analyses, and computational modeling of mineral stability, particularly in regions like Hungary, Croatia, South Africa, and the U.S.
- Education: PhD in Petrology-Geochemistry (2002) and MSc in Geology (1997) from Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary.
- Professional Roles: Postdoctoral fellowship at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (2008-2010), lecturer at Rhodes University, and Electron Probe Microanalysis Scientist at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Currently manages electron probe labs at Furman University.
His research centers on reconstructing pressure-temperature histories of metamorphic rocks using quantitative phase diagrams and thermobarometry. Key interests include Earth Systems sciences, geothermobarometry, and mineral chemistry, with applications in diverse geological settings.
Recent publications highlight work on the Wyoming Craton, South African igneous complexes, and Croatian metamorphic belts, reflecting his expertise in integrating field data with lab analyses. Awards include the Szádeczky-Kardoss Award (1999, 2001) and an NRF Postdoctoral fellowship (2008-2010).
- Scientific Contributions: Peer-review editorial work for Geological Journal (2014-2018) and membership in the Hungarian Geological Society, Geological Society of South Africa, and Microscopy Society of America.
