Sascha Zeegers

Sascha Zeegers is a Research Fellow at the European Space Agency (ESA), specializing in cosmic dust research. Her work investigates the physical and chemical characteristics of interstellar dust grains, particularly silicates, using spectroscopic analysis across infrared and X-ray wavelengths. She leverages observations from space telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ESA’s XMM-Newton, and the upcoming XRISM mission to trace the lifecycle of dust from stellar origins to planetary systems.

• Research Focus: Cosmic dust evolution, silicate spectroscopy, interstellar medium interactions
