This research project will involve a series of high-pressure experiments and the synthesis of volatile storage within planetary materials. The student will receive training and conduct independent research utilizing both laser-heated diamond-anvil cells and multi-anvil presses. They will perform X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy studies on the synthesized materials.

The primary applications of this study lie in the fields of planetary science and materials chemistry. The student will be primarily mentored by Professor Dan Shim at the School of Earth and Space Exploration. They will also collaborate with postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students within his research group.
