Members of Research Group
 |
| Dr. Larry A. Haskin was the leader of this research group
(1934-2005). |
 |
Dr. Randy Korotev is a geochemist who studies the
geology of the Moon by using the chemical composition of lunar soils and rocks. He is particularly interested how the impact
process has altered the lunar crust and how we
can use the polymict (mixed) materials (soils,
breccias) produced by impacts to understand what
the early lunar crust was like. He was trained as an analytical
chemist and runs the laboratory for instrumental neutron
activation analysis (INAA). |
 |
| Dr. Bradley L. Jolliff is a petrologist who specializes in
planetary geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. He is currently involved in three main
areas of research: petrology and geochemistry of lunar rocks and terrestrial analogs;
geology and geochemistry of the Moon using remotely-sensed data; and the use of laser
Raman spectroscopy for on-surface planetary analysis of minerals and rocks. |
 |
Dr. Alian Wang is a spectroscopist. She works on geological applications of spectroscopic methods
(infrared, Mössbauer, and Raman
spectroscopy). She joined the group in 1994 to
start a new research direction, in-situ planetary Raman spectroscopy . Alian's major efforts are
spent on development of Raman instrumentation and applications of Raman spectroscopy to
planetary science. She is the development physicist for the Mars Microbeam Raman Spectrometer. |
 |
| Dr. Freeman is a physical-analytical chemist with a background in
applications of optical spectroscopy to the structural characterization and quantitative
analysis of a wide range of materials. He joins our group in 2001 and works
with Alian in the
directions of fluorescent properties of minerals and of Raman features of clay minerals. |
 |
| Ms. Karla Kuebler is a petrologist who initially worked with
meteorites. She received her masters degree in geology from the University of Tennessee
-Knoxville. She works with Alian and Larry in developing Raman spectroscopy as an
on-surface method of identifying and characterizing planetary materials. |
 |
Dr. Ryan Zeigler was a graduate student who joined our
group in 1998. He passed the final exam and gained his Doctoral degree in
Dec. 2004. Ryan will continue as a post-doc research associate working for
Lunar project of our group. |
