Bose is a planetary scientist, investigating the chemistry of asteroids, comets and planets to understand how they originated and processes prevalent in small planetary bodies.
She is an Associate Professor and Associate Director of Community Outreach in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University and oversees the NanoSIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer at the nano-scale), part of the National Science Foundation-funded SIMS Facility.
Professor Bose's current interests include:
- Volatiles in Venus & asteroid regolith and meteorites from Mars, Moon, Vesta
- Carbon cycling in icy and ocean worlds
- Organic matter in micrometeorites and surface samples from asteroids
- Dust condensed in ancient stars called stardust or presolar dust grains (i.e., material that predates the Solar System)
- Ph.D. Physics, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri 2011. Thesis title: Isotopic and elemental compositions of stardust and protosolar dust grains in primitive meteorites
- M.A. Physics, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri 2006
- M.Sc. Physics (specialization Astrophysics), University of Pune, India 2003. Thesis title: Calculation of refractivity structure constant Cn^2 using the Indian Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere radar in the vicinity of the troposphere.
- B.Sc. Physics, Fergusson College, Pune, India.Thesis title: Methods employed in the detection of extrasolar planets.
Current PhD Students:
Lucas Reynoso – He is working on organic partitioning of organics into salt minerals, which are analogues discovered on the dwarf planet, Ceres and moons of Uranus. He is probing physio-chemical conditions available on ocean worlds in our Solar System.
Ronica Sims – She is measuring CHNOPS isotopes of hydrated, fine-grained and course-grained cosmic dust particles collected from Antarctica, as well as aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrite meteorites similar to Bennu and Ryugu.
Sarah Vierling – She is studying the Li isotopic systematics of supernova stardust grains in grain residues of meteorites Orgueil and ALHA 77307. She is also investigating the formation of complex organics within clay minerals.
Current Undergraduate Students:
Tatiana Asadourian – Her research is to quantify the uptake rate of organics into carbonate salts from solution using the NanoSIMS.
Els Shepard – They is using supernova models to make connections between the 1D and 3D models.
Bina Kumari Rauniyar – Her research is to quantify the uptake rate of organics into brines.
Shashank Araokar – His research is on studying organosulfurs in Ryugu and deciphering their origins.
Mikko-Dakota Roberts – His research is to quantify the uptake rate of organics into brines.
