Speller, Fiona Nadine
Main Focus
I am a doctoral researcher in the planetary science department, working on moderately volatile elements in meteorites. I am interested in isotopic fingerprints of moderately volatile elements and what they tell us about processes shaping the early Solar System and the accretion and evolution of early planetary bodies.
