Current Graduate Students

Alexandra studies the photolysis and radiolysis of interstellar ice analogues to unravel chemical pathways in the interstellar medium.

Qijia Zhou is an NSF Fellow studying the chemistry of planet-forming environments from an observational and laboratory perspective. She is currently investigating the effects of external irradiation on protoplanetary disks in clustered environments.

Liza Yunerman is a planet formation theorist, who is interested in modeling protoplanetary disk dynamics and relevant chemical processes.

Marissa Maney combines instrumentation and laboratory experiments to explore the origins of chemical complexity in planetary bodies.

Clara studies the chemical and physical processes that occur during exoplanet formation.

Alexia uses laboratory experiments to better understand diffusion and entrapment in interstellar ices. 

Jea studies how disk environments shape planet atmospheres and influence the types of planets birthed in various disk regions.
