Luca Ziberna is Associate Professor in Petrology and Petrography at the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences, University of Trieste, Italy, since January 2022. He was previously a researcher at the same department (2019-2021) and a post-doctoral researcher at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut, University of Bayreuth, Germany and at the School of Earth Science, University of Bristol, UK (2013-2018). Luca's research interests include thermodynamic modelling and thermobarometry of igneous cumulates, mantle rocks and basaltic magmas, mineralogy and petrology of the crust-mantle transition zone, and cutting-edge techniques to measure the oxidation state of iron in crust and mantle minerals.
