We are pleased to welcome Dr. Imène Kerraouch, who joins the Center as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar working under Center Director Prof. Rhonda Stroud.
Imène received her Ph.D. from Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster in 2022, and studies formational processes in primitive chondrites and the early Solar System. She is currently examining samples returned by JAXA‘s Hayabusa2 mission from the C-type asteroid, Ryugu.
