University of East Anglia

Zoja Vukmanovic is a Lecturer in Geology and Georesources at the University of East Anglia. She applies a macro-to-micro approach to solve fundamental problems in igneous petrology and related ore deposits. Zoja combines textural and microstructural analyses (EBSD) with geochemistry and field observation to understand the cooling of large magma bodies, their emplacement, and subsequent subsolidus processes that affect these bodies. Her research also focuses on the role of magma dynamics in the concentration of mineral deposits. For years, she worked on the largest platinum deposit in the world, the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.
