Research Objective:
To determine the origin of water (H2O) and chemically bound hydroxyl radicals (-OH) on airless bodies
Develop a system to simulate micro-meteorite bombardment and the effects on airless bodies in space
To develop new materials that will protect astronauts and their equipment from harmful radiation
To Investigate the possibility of in situ resource utilization for water
Identify & create mitigation strategies for the dangers of charged dust in airless environments such as the Moon
To investigate novel 2D material systems as a technological model for low-power, lightweight, and real-time radiation detectors
