IMA Award to Mattia Mazzucchelli

Our PhD student Mattia Mazzucchelli has been awarded the “PhD student award 2016” by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).
Since 2016, IMA inaugurated its PhD Student Award, aimed at supporting outstanding students in mineralogy and related disciplines by providing them with the opportunity to present their research at an international level (see Elements, vol. 12, p. 133). 


In 2016, three students have been selected by the IMA Council on the basis of their merits and achievements, and sponsored to present their research at the European Mineralogical Conference (EMC 2016) held in Rimini, Italy. 
Along with Mattia Mazzucchelli the recipients are Petra Jakubová from Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) and Liene Spruzeniece from Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia).
Mattia presented in Rimini an oral contribution where he showed how numerical modeling (Finite Element Modeling) can be applied to understand the complex elasticity of mineral inclusions entrapped in Ultra High Pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks, expanding the current limits of elastic geobarometry.

European Mineralogical Conference

Registrations and abstract submission for the European Mineralogical Conference (EMC 2016) held in Rimini (September 11th to 15th 2016) are now open!

Registrations for the elastic geobarometry workshop (‘Solid inclusions in minerals as records of geological processes’) held in the framework of the EMC2016 are also open!

The workshop is co/sponsored by the SIMP (Società Italiana di Mineralogia e Petrologia), the European research grant INDIMEDEA to F. Nestola and by the research grant MILE DEEp to M. Alvaro.


Workshop details and registrations are available at the MILE DEEp webpage
