Maitrayee Bose

Maitrayee Bose is an Associate Professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University, specializing in isotope cosmochemistry. She leads the NSF-funded NanoSIMS facility, analyzing extraterrestrial materials at nanoscale precision. Her research focuses on asteroids, comets, and presolar grains to understand solar system formation and planetary processes. Key areas include volatile distribution in planetary bodies, organic matter in meteorites, and stardust chemistry.

Expertise spans analytical techniques like NanoSIMS, with contributions to understanding carbon cycling on icy worlds and hydrogen implantation in minerals. She serves as a handling editor for the Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry journal, promoting open-access publishing in Earth and planetary sciences.

• Oversees cutting-edge instrumentation for isotopic analysis
• Conducts fieldwork in Antarctica and Oman for micrometeorite recovery
• Advances planetary defense through asteroid sample analysis

Her work bridges laboratory astrophysics and field geology, with implications for astrobiology and planetary habitability.
