Anna is a current senior graduating in spring 2025. After receiving her Bachelors in Physics, she will pursue her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at CU Boulder with a focus in bioastronautics. Her ultimate career goal is to contribute to advancing human and lunar exploration.

Anna conducted experimental research at CU’s IMPACT lab (Institute for Modeling Plasma, Atmospheres, and Cosmic Dust). Here she studied lunar dust dynamics, particularly how it mobilizes when exposed to solar wind plasma. She also worked on projects related to dust size separation for in-situ resource utilization and dust mitigation strategies. 

Anna is excite to announce she received the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and plans to continue similar research throughout her graduate studies.

Anna was mentored by Dr. Xu Wang, Department of Physics at CU Boulder.
