Congratulations to Ben for a Successful Ph. D Defense!

Join us in congratulating our first Ph. D. graduate from the M-Class Lab, Ben Farcy! Ben’s Ph. D. is a cross between fundamental geoscience and spaceflight engineering. To understand the rocky planets in the solar system, we need scientific instruments to measure their chemistry, which is what he worked to develop over his Ph. D. Ben constructed a miniature mass spectrometer as a prototype for measuring elemental geochemistry on planetary surfaces and developed the scientific application for these analyses to be applied to the Moon.

Welcome Soumya to the lab!

This week, our new post-doc officially joined the M-Class lab! Dr. Soumya Ray earned her Ph. D. from Arizona State University and will be working on both the CORALS and CRATER projects.

Welcome Ashley and Sourabh to the Lab!

This week, 2 new graduate students officially joined the M-Class lab! Ashley Hanna from Georgia will be on the AROMA team that will support MOMA. Sourabh Shubham is from India and he will be working on the KArLE team. We are very excited to welcome our new students!
