Dr. Hamed Gamaleldien earned his Ph.D. from Curtin University, Australia, where he also completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship. He specializes in utilizing advanced geochemical techniques to investigate mantle- and crust-derived rocks at global, regional, and micro-to-nano scales. His groundbreaking research provides new insights into Earth's dynamic evolution over its four-billion-year history, including the development of the mantle, paleohydrosphere, and early continental crust, as well as the onset of plate tectonics and the superplume-supercontinent cycles. Dr. Hamed’s work enhances our understanding of Earth’s complex systems and contributes valuable knowledge to the study of critical metal formation.
Are you passionate about unraveling Earth's mysteries and advancing our understanding of its evolution? Join us in one of these cutting-edge PhD projects that explore the intersection of geology, geochemistry, and critical metals:
1锔�-Exploring the Role of Mantle Plumes and the Supercontinental Cycle in the Formation of Critical Metals
-Dive into the connection between Earth's dynamic mantle processes and the genesis of critical metals essential for modern technologies.
-Gain hands-on experience with isotope geochemistry and global geodynamic analysis.
2锔�-Deciphering Earth's Early Mantle Evolution
-Investigate the chemical and isotopic records preserved in Earth's oldest rocks to understand its mantle evolution and crustal formation.
-Utilize cutting-edge radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry techniques and collaborate on interdisciplinary research.
3锔�-Linking Ophiolitic Mélange and Subduction Zones with Critical Metal Deposits
-Examine the role of ancient subduction processes and ophiolitic mélanges in the concentration of critical metals.
-Learn advanced field mapping, geochemical modeling, and experimental petrology methods.
