[4] She completed her doctorate in Earth sciences at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in 1995, with a project entitled “Aluminosilicates at high pressure and high temperature: amorph, glass, liquid and crystal – A Raman spectroscopic study.” In 2003, Daniel was a fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America and in 2007 she was a fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France.
[4] In 2018 she was co-chair of the Deep Carbon Science in the Context of Geologic Time Gordon Research Conference.
[6] Daniel's research focuses on minerals and fluid-rock interactions under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
[8] Her lab also investigates microbial biosignatures and how mineral surfaces may have impacted the emergence of life on early Earth.
[3] In her work, she frequently uses advanced experimental and analytical methods including Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction.
