Jade C. Bond


Ph.D. (Planetary Science), 2008
University of Arizona.

Grad. Dip. in Science Communication, 2003
Central Queensland University.

B.Sc. (Adv.) (Hons. I) in Physics, 2002
University of Sydney.



Jade is currently working on determing the chemical composition of extrasolar planetary systems, based on the spectra of the host star and dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation. While this will only give us at best the inital conditions of the system (before mixing, migration etc), it's better than what we currently have! Jade is also working on determining the composition of stellar formation regions in the hope that they will be able to give us better insight into the chemistry of both star and planet formation.
