Karin Öberg leads the Öberg Astrochemistry Group at Harvard University, focusing on the origins of chemical complexity in space and processes affecting star and planet formation. Her research utilizes laboratory experiments to simulate the chemistry and physics of interstellar grain mantles, alongside radio and infrared observations often at high spatial resolution. She investigates inverse processes, where astrophysical phenomena influence observed chemical changes. By leveraging spatially and spectrally resolved observations of molecular lines, her work probes essential aspects of star and planet formation. Karin has collaborated on several international projects, resulting in the publication of numerous papers, with a specific focus on astrochemical theories and sulfur chemistry in planet-forming disks.
