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”

This past weekend, I had a fantastic opportunity to showcase my current research at the Michigan Space Grant Consortium! From all corners of Michigan, an incredible range of speakers captivated our attention. During the meeting, I learned about exciting outreach concepts that I am eager to implement at MSU.

We thought it would be a year before we returned to the Advanced Photon Source, due to the upgrade, but last week we (Luisa, Devika, Haozhe, and I) traveled to GSECARS to conduct experiments using their laser heating system! In the photo, Haozhe and Luisa are using the laser drill to prepare gaskets for upcomingContinue reading “Offline Heating at GSECARS”
