Dr. Jenny Feige is a Researcher at the Museum of Natural History Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Research in Berlin, Germany. She serves as the project leader of the ERC Starting Grant NoSHADE (2023-2028), which focuses on novel perspectives on our Solar System history recorded in the Atacama Desert. Her research interests center on the origin of cosmic dust on Earth, including interstellar dust from nearby stellar explosions through the detection of radioactive supernova isotopes, and interplanetary dust found on Earth's surface as micrometeorites. Her work bridges astrophysics, geochemistry, and planetary science, with a particular focus on understanding supernova activity and its signatures in terrestrial archives. Analysis of her publication record from 2012-2024 reveals a strong focus on supernova-produced radionuclides (particularly 60Fe and 244Pu), cosmic dust transport mechanisms, and the application of advanced analytical techniques like Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. Her research spans multiple disciplines including astrophysics, geochemistry, planetary science, and nuclear physics, with publications appearing in high-impact journals such as Nature, PNAS, and Astronomy & Astrophysics. Scientific Awards: ERC Starting Grant NoSHADE (2023-2028) Dr. Feige's research program involves extensive international collaboration across multiple institutions and disciplines. Her work on supernova-produced radionuclides in deep-sea sediments and meteoritic material has significantly contributed to our understanding of recent stellar activity near our solar system and the transport mechanisms of extraterrestrial material to Earth. She employs cutting-edge analytical techniques including Accelerator Mass Spectrometry to detect minute quantities of cosmogenic and supernova-ejected radionuclides.
