About Emilie
My name is Emilie Dunham and I am a cosmochemist. Currently, I am a Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory studying presolar stardust. I completed the 51 Pegasi b postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA in 2023. I earned my PhD in geosciences from ASU in May 2020 and my BSc in Astronomy from Case Western Reserve University in May 2014. Some other topics I’ve studied are Kuiper Belt Objects, martian meteorites and mission designing. I enjoy sitting at the crossroads of astrophysics, geology, and chemistry.
