Dr. Tabb Prissel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University, part of the College of Science. Previously, he served as a NASA civil servant research scientist at the Johnson Space Center. His research integrates natural sample analysis, experimental petrology, and orbital data to study the igneous evolution of Earth, the Moon, and rocky planets. Key focus areas include planetary crust evolution, magma-rock interactions, and mission-driven science.
Research interests: Evolution of planetary crusts, primary magmas, magma oceans, impact melt seas, and field studies. He emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining lab experiments with remote sensing data. Recent work includes studies on lunar Mg-suite magmatism, mantle overturn, and Artemis mission-related sample analysis.
Publications highlight advancements in lunar petrogenesis, impact melt crystallization, and sample curation. His findings contribute to understanding early planetary differentiation and mission planning for lunar exploration.
