Ya Huei Huang

Postdoctoral Associate

Research Description

Ya Huei Huang is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT, working with the Soderblom group. Her research primarily focuses on the Moon and is to understand how numerical modeling constrained by observation data such as spacecraft-acquired data sets and returned lunar samples can help us to understand the lunar bombardment history and regolith transport process driven by impacts on the Moon.
