معرفی
Dr. Eva Stueeken is a Reader in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews, affiliated with the St Andrews Centre for Exoplanet Science. Her research focuses on the origin and early evolution of life on Earth, planetary habitability, and Earth's environmental history. She employs techniques such as sedimentary geology, stable isotope analysis (C, N, S, Se), and transition metal geochemistry. Dr. Stueeken currently supervises six PhD students, including Joseph Benson and Toni Galloway. Her work has led to significant contributions in understanding early Earth oxidation events, nitrogen cycling, and hydrothermal processes. She has secured funding from institutions like the Leverhulme Trust and NERC, supporting projects like 'Characterizing Hydrothermal Nutrient Fluxes.' Her research also explores exoplanet habitability through Mars analogue systems and hydrothermal vent studies. Dr. Stueeken collaborates internationally, with recent publications in high-impact journals like Nature Geoscience and Nature Communications.
- Education: PhD in Geochemistry (university details unspecified)
Her research interests include the co-evolution of life and environments, with a focus on how geochemical processes shaped early Earth. She investigates nutrient availability and its role in microbial ecosystems, linking these to potential extraterrestrial habitats. Dr. Stueeken’s recent studies explore nitrogen isotopes in Neoarchean hydrothermal systems and phosphite availability during the Great Oxidation Event.
Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, combining fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and computational modeling. She has contributed to datasets on planetary lightning chemistry and exoplanetary nutrient dynamics. Dr. Stueeken is actively involved in mentoring and advancing early-career researchers through collaborative projects and academic leadership.
