  • Tasks

    • Project leader of ERC Starting Grant NoSHADE 2023-2028: Novel Perspectives on our Solar System History recorded in the Atacama DEsert

    Research

    I analyse the origin of cosmic dust on Earth, including

    • interstellar dust from nearby stellar explosions through the detection of radioactive supernova isotopes,
    • interplanetary dust that can be collected as micrometeorites on Eath's surface.
