Main Focus
I am a PhD student in the planetary science department, working on meteoritic samples, specifically using the Rb-Sr isotopic system to investigate the timing of aqueous alteration in the early Solar System. A second project is to investigate Calcium-Aluminum-rich inclusions, some of the earliest condensates of the solar nebula, to precisely determine the initial Solar System 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio.
