Dr. Emma Bullock obtained a B. Sc. in Geochemistry from the University of Manchester in 2001. She holds a Ph. D. in Meteorites from the Open University in conjunction with the Natural History Museum in England, where she studied the role of water in altering the minerals found in primitive meteorites. In 2006, she moved to the Smithsonian Institution to pursue research into the origins of our solar system, studying the mineralogy, chemistry, and isotopic systematics of different components in meteorites, in order to build a picture of how the earliest materials in our solar system formed and evolved. She currently works at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, where she runs a scanning electron microscopy laboratory, and has expanded her work into studying a wide range of extraterrestrial and terrestrial materials.
