Linru Fang

Linru Fang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Star and Planet Formation within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in planetary formation processes and geochemical analysis of extraterrestrial materials. The research center focuses on interdisciplinary investigations of star and planet formation mechanisms through cosmochemical and astrophysical approaches.

Research interests center on volatile element depletion in planetary bodies, with specific expertise in lunar interior geochemistry and carbonaceous meteorite analysis. Dr. Fang employs advanced mass spectrometry and computational modeling to investigate how impact events and thermal processes shaped the chemical evolution of the Moon and early solar system bodies. Key methodologies include isotopic ratio analysis and experimental simulation of high-temperature sublimation processes.

Recent publications reveal consistent patterns in volatile depletion mechanisms across different planetary materials, demonstrating how impact-induced sublimation drives compositional changes in both lunar interiors and carbonaceous meteorites. This work establishes critical links between impact dynamics and chemical fractionation during planetary accretion.

The Centre for Star and Planet Formation maintains active collaborations with international space agencies and meteorite research facilities, providing Dr. Fang access to cutting-edge analytical instrumentation and rare extraterrestrial samples for ongoing investigations into solar system formation.
