About the Speaker
 |
Dr. Ming-Chang Liu obtained his Ph.D. from UCLA in 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Kevin McKeegan. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Liu has been at the forefront of developing and applying SIMS techniques to address astrophysical problems related to solar system formation. His work focuses on the isotopic compositions of high- and low-temperature components in chondritic meteorites and returned asteroid samples. Additionally, Dr. Liu has contributed to developing new SIMS analytical protocols to tackle challenges in geochronology, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and nuclear forensics. He currently holds a position as a secondary ion mass spectrometrist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. |
