Current Research

I am a cosmochemist who is interested in the origin and early evolution of the Solar System. I would like to know what was responsible for making diverse Solar-System planets, including Earth. My research interests are: (1) Early chemical evolution of the Solar System, (2) Galaxy, Molecular clouds, and the Solar System, (3) Astromineralogy – Dust formation in space, (4) Formation and evolution of chondritic components, (5) Ground truth from Solar-System small bodies, (6) Reactions in the evolving Earth and planetary systems.
