معرفی
Prof. Dr. Lena Noack is a Professor of Planetary Geodynamics at the Institute of Geological Sciences, Freie Universität Berlin. She leads the Planetary Geodynamics research group, focusing on geodynamics, mineral physics, and planetary processes. Her work explores mantle convection, crust formation, and atmospheric evolution, with a particular emphasis on exoplanets and habitability. Dr. Noack holds prestigious grants such as the ERC Consolidator Grant (DIVERSE project) and has received awards including the Paolo Farinella Prize (2021) and the Teaching Award from her institute (2019).
Education: PhD in Planetology (University of Münster, 2012), Diplom in Mathematics (Humboldt University Berlin, 2008).
Research interests span planetary interior dynamics, exoplanet habitability, and the interplay between geology and climate. Key projects include modeling volcanic outgassing, mantle redox states, and thermal evolution of rocky planets. She collaborates on missions like PLATO and LIFE, advancing exoplanet detection and characterization.
Her work on TRAPPIST-1 planets and induction heating mechanisms has been widely recognized. Current grants include leadership in ISSI workshops and ERC-funded research. Students and advisees include over a dozen doctoral researchers studying topics like mantle evolution and planetary atmospheres.
