The photo below is from badlands national park. While at LLNL, I worked on two projects. The first project involved investigating theContinue reading “Summer 2024 Research Experience”

I recently had the joy of teaching students and the local community about the electrical conductivity of minerals at MSU’s science festival. Alongside my colleagues Heidi, Eric, Devika, and Lusia, we engaged with eager young minds through interactive experiments. The highlight was seeing students’ eyes light up as they discovered new concepts. It was aContinue reading “Igniting Curiosity: My Weekend at the MSU Science Festival”

Last month, we, CDAC graduate students, traveled to the Stewardship Science Academic Programs (SSAP) Symposium in Arlington, Virginia. While there, I learned about some of the exciting research being conducted across the national labs and was able to present our research: Liquid Structure of Iron-Nitrogen-Carbon Alloys Within the Cores of Small Terrestrial Bodies during theContinue reading “SSAP 2024 Symposium in Arlington, Virginia”

The 2nd Winter Workshop on Recent Advances in High Pressure Research provided a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and learn about the capabilities at ASU. I was blown away, not only by the size of ICHIBAN, but also by the facilities on the campus! During the meeting, Luisa and I had theContinue reading “FORCE 2nd Winter Workshop”

The recent American Geophysical Union conference held in San Francisco, CA was a resounding success. Luisa, Jack, and I were able to showcase our recent research findings! Luisa presented: “Role of Iron Concentration in the Incorporation of Sodium into Ferropericlase in the Earth’s Lower Mantle” Jack presented: “Experimental Measurements of the Structure of Liquid IronContinue reading “Highlights from the 2023 American Geophysical Union Meeting”
