Dr Gavyn Rollinson
Laboratory Manager
Core (ESE Cornwall)
I am a geologist specialising in mineralogy, and have worked for the University of Exeter since 2005. I also manage the Chemical, Imaging & Mineralogical Facility (CIMF). I predominantly carry out research and support research for both academics and students. Teaching in research labs and student supervision forms part of my role which includes students of all levels and training of academics/external clients when required. I am a point of contact for commercial clients that use the CIMF (CSM analytical facility) and I manage commercial activities.
My main expertise is automated mineralogy via QEMSCAN® technology, which is an advanced automated scanning electron microscope that analyses inorganic samples such as rock and soil (Exeter University was the first university in the UK to obtain the technology in 2004). With over 15 years experience of QEMSCAN®, I have analysed and processed a wide range of samples including soils, mineral concentrates (oxides, sulphides), supergene ores, contaminated muds (incl. tailings), slags, Egyptian cosmetics, laterites, bauxites, ceramics, cements, heavy minerals sands, dust samples (atmospheric, volcanic), trace ore samples (silver, gold, Ta/Nb, Pt-Pd), igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic geological samples, lunar and Martian meteorites, Trinitites, Fulgarites, bottom ash incinerator waste, perlite, house bricks and other specialist applications. I am involved in all stages of QEMSCAN® work from sample preparation to instrument operation, data processing and database development.
Additional responsibilities include providing support (research, teaching and commercial) for other analytical instruments such as scanning electron microscopes (2 x SEM-EDS systems) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). I am a Fellow of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland and a Fellow of the Geological Society of London.
