My Riebe

Dr. My Riebe is a Lecturer at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, ETH Zürich, within the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology. She holds a PhD in Cosmochemistry from ETH Zürich (2016) and is currently pursuing a Master of Advanced Studies in Management, Technology, and Economics. Her research focuses on solar system formation and evolution using extraterrestrial materials, particularly volatile elements and organics. Key tools include noble gas mass spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, and SEM. She leads the Lunar Gateway dust science team at ESA and contributed to JAXA’s Hayabusa2 mission analyzing Ryugu samples. She teaches agile project management and geochemistry courses at ETH.

Education: B.Sc./M.Sc. in Geology from Lund University (2012), PhD in Cosmochemistry (2016), and ongoing MAS in Management (2023–2025). Research funding includes a SNSF Ambizione Fellowship (CHF 903,697) and NASA Emerging Worlds grants. Awards include the SNSF Early Postdoc Mobility Award.

Research emphasizes micrometeorite analysis, atmospheric entry effects, and protoplanetary disk chemistry. She chairs the Meteoritical Society’s McKay Award Committee and serves on ESA’s ASTERIA team. Supervised 10+ students in PhD/MSc projects. Active in conference organization (e.g., Goldschmidt 2020, Noble Gas workshops).

Key projects include Lunar Gateway dust studies, Hayabusa2 sample analysis, and experimental work on micrometeorite heating effects. Her work bridges cosmochemistry with management innovations for academic research teams.
