RESEARCH

Natasha's research focuses on meteorites and extraterrestrial materials from Mars, the Moon, and asteroids within our Solar System, in addition to in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) and in-space additive manufacturing (ISAM) for space exploration. She is also an expert in electron and X-ray microscopy with both a lab or synchrotron-source, having worked at both Diamond Light Source (UK) and the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron (Australia). In addition to her scientific research interests, Natasha also works across education and equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility (EDIA), as both an active advocate and researcher. She has published peer-reviewed and invited articles in journals, online, and book chapters, across geosciences, engineering, and marine biology.
