Kun Wang

Kun Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also affiliated with the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences. He holds a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis. His research focuses on non-traditional isotope tools (K, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn) applied to samples ranging from planetary rocks to meteorites, aiming to elucidate Solar System origins, planetary formation, and crustal evolution.

Research interests include the Moon's giant impact origin, lunar magma ocean differentiation, and analytical advancements using Multi Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). His lab, the Isotope Cosmochemistry Laboratory, explores topics like Martian meteorite composition and asteroid sample analysis.

No specific articles, awards, or grants are listed here, but his work emphasizes cutting-edge isotope geochemistry techniques. Contact details include office RUDOLPH 327 and a St. Louis mailing address.
