Pierre will be joining the LPL faculty as an Assistant Professor in the Fall of 2019. He is currently a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. Tom Zega and the Earths in Other Solar Systems (EOS) team (http://eos-nexus.org) on the characterization and coordinated in-situ study of primitive organic matter in meteorites.

He grew up in Brussels (Belgium) and graduated with B.A. and M.S. degrees in Geology and Geochemistry from the Free University of Brussels. He then moved to St. Louis (Missouri) and obtained a M.A. degree and a Ph.D. in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Washington University in St. Louis. His doctoral research work focused on the identification and coordinated micro-analytical study of and circumstellar grains (also called presolar or stardust grains) in primitive meteorites and fine-grained micrometeorites.
