DrDanny Hnatyshin

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geoscience (iCRAG) at University College Dublin (UCD) in Dublin, Ireland. I am primarily interested in isotope geochemistry with a specialization in Re-Os isotopes for use in geochronology and isotopic tracing. Outside of strict geochemistry I have experience in working in hydrogeology and geophysics and welcome projects that require a diverse skill set.

My current role at iCRAG is to develop a world-class rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) geochronology laboratory for the National Centre for Isotope Geochemistry (NCIG) at UCD. Once fully operational (2021) I will be dedicating my time to numerous projects that will attempt to date the mineralization of ore deposits in Ireland, mainland Europe, and Africa. Geochronology research is supplemented by petrography, in-situ trace element maps (e.g. LA-ICP-MS), and stable isotope measurements. I am also interested in applying the Os isotope system to environmental tracing studies (e.g. surface and groundwater tracing/monitoring). I am more than happy to collaborate with interested parties for research, or share my knowledge gathered about producing high quality, precise, and accurate, isotope data.
