Post Doctoral Researcher in Achondrite Meteorites, The Open University
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Physical Sciences at The Open University. My research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of the planets, asteroids, and moons in the Solar System. I am specifically addressing the timing of impact mixing, magmatic differentiation, and volatile accretion of achondrites, meteorites that have come from asteroids that experienced thermal processes less than 20 million years after Solar System formation.
In the longer term, I hope to pursue an academic career that combines original research into planetary systems (principally using material science techniques) with teaching and mentoring of future planetary scientists.

Assistant Professor of Sustainable Systems, University of Michigan
Benjamin Goldstein, Ph.D, is Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability and head of the Sustainable Urban-Rural Futures (SURF) lab. The SURF Lab (www.surf-lab.ca) studies and emphasizes urban sustainability at multiple scales. Through his work at the SURF Lab, Benjamin helps understand how urban processes and urban form drive the consumption of materials and energy in cities and produce environmental change inside and outside cities. He develops methods and tools to quantify the scale of these changes and the locations where they occur using life cycle assessment, input-output analysis, geospatial data, and approaches from data science. Benjamin is particularly interested in combining quantitative methods with theory rooted in social science to explore multiple dimensions of sustainability and address issues of distributive justice. His topical foci include urban food systems (esp. urban agriculture), agri-commodities, residual resource engineering, global supply chains, sustainable production and consumption, and energy systems.
