People at FORCE

Kara Brugman is interested in magma genesis and volatile solubility on exoplanets, Earth, & solar system bodies and timescales of events in magmatic systems. She is a Research Scientist and Outreach Coordinator for FORCE.

Daman is an experimental and analytical geo-/cosmochemist who studies the formation and evolution of rocky bodies in the early solar system using high-pressure temperature experiments, isotope geochemistry, and meteorites.

Chemistry Master’s student, Research Technician in EMC’s High Pressure Facility and FORCE. Research is focused on high-pressure, high-temperature material synthesis using multi-anvil presses.

Alexandra Navrotsky is a Regents Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences and the SEMTE and Affiliated Faculty Member of the SESE. She is also the Director of the Navrotsky Eyring Center for Materials of the Universe.

Sharp teaches mineralogy, field geology, and electron microscopy. His research interests include impacts and shock metamorphism in meteorites, high-pressure minerals and phase transformations in Earth’s mantle.

Dan Shim’s research interests are centered on the physical and chemical properties of materials at high pressures and temperature, and the structure and evolution of Earth and planetary interiors.

Smith specializes in the development, applications, and advancement of atomic-resolution electron microscopy.

Steve is with the Knowledge Enterprise Research PMO supporting FORCE, Facility for Open Research in a Compressed Environment, and EPIXC, Electrified Processes for Industry without Carbon.
