Rock doc, lunatic

Hello, welcome to my page! I am a fellow lunatic trying to learn more about the world around us. I am currently a Postdoctoral researcher at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center and the Catholic University of America where I study endogenous volatiles delivered during volcanic eruptions, and contamination from spacecraft. I have been investigating lunar magmatic processes since 2017 using various microanalytical techniques, first as an undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame, and later as a PhD student at Miami University.

More about me: I was born in Kraków, Poland, and moved to the Chicago area when I was 10. I enjoy all things science, and I love dogs (I have a goldendoodle named Charlie and recently got a bernedoodle puppy named Teddy!), plants, and rock climbing.

If you'd like to learn more, read my Early Career Scientist Spotlight.

Cheers!
