Research
I have a background in meteoritics, impact cratering and high pressure geochemistry. I will study analogue samples both natural (mafic impactites) and artificial in order to characterize the aqueous alteration of shock metamorphosed minerals at Jezero Crater and prepare for the martian sample return.
