Department:
Solar System, Impacts and Meteorites

As a student research assistant in the ERC project NoSHADE, I identify, isolate, and characterise micrometeorites and other extraterrestrial material using scanning electron microscopy and electron microprobe analysis. This includes working with extremely small, high-value particles as well as supporting fieldwork planning, on-site sampling in extreme conditions, and laboratory sample preparation. My work contributes to reconstructing events in the Solar System and understanding the processes that shaped its formation. I am also actively engaged in outreach on micrometeorites and science communication.

I work in the laboratories:
Geochemical and Microanalytical Laboratories
I work in the collections:
