Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Kelsey Prissel. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Kelsey Prissel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. Her research focuses on planetary differentiation and volcanism, employing high-temperature laboratory experiments and geochemical analyses of igneous rocks to develop a crust-to-core perspective of planetary bodies. Her research group conducts high-pressure experiments and isotopic analyses, and employs geochemical modeling techniques such as elemental diffusion and isotopic fractionation. The work also involves petrograhic characterization of natural samples, including those from lunar, meteorite, and terrestrial origins. Additionally, Prissel's research includes synthesis and analysis for 'ground truth' materials to support remote sensing applications, as well as participation in analog mission field campaigns for planetary surface exploration.
