About Dr Georgy Belyanin

Georgy graduated from the Moscow State University (Russia) with a diploma in Geochemistry and Petrology in 2007 and continued his studies at the University of Johannesburg where he obtained his PhD in Geology in 2011. After completing his 2-year tenure as a postdoctoral researcher, he was appointed as a Senior Research Fellow in 2014 at the University of Johannesburg. In 2019 Georgy switched to lectureship at the same university. His research interests include igneous and metamorphic petrology (particularly the high-grade Limpopo Complex) as well as applications of argon-argon geochronology in all aspects of geoscience.
