Mary S. Park
Researcher
About
Bio
Mary is a JPL postdoctoral fellow studying the origin of water vapor in the exosphere of Ceres through numerical modelling and prediction using a vast amount of solar wind data measured by various space crafts and machine learning models. Before coming to JPL, she conducted research on the fundamental properties of bio-, energy-, structural-related materials using hands-on experiments and computational simulations/data analysis.
