PAIS 3205

Host:
Diana Dragomir
Presenter:
Debarati Das
Debarati Das is a postdoctoral research fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the Intelligence and Space research division. In her talk, Debarati will speak about her research journey as a NASA Mars Science Laboratory team member and talk about the investigation of past water activity in Gale crater using ChemCam data from the Curiosity rover. She will also speak about how her experience as a planetary spectroscopist has helped her be a part of a team in LANL that aims to further the development of instruments for future planetary missions to Moon and Venus. She will end the talk with a few examples of  technology transfer experiences between space science and terrestrial applications to meet Department of Energy goals at LANL.
