Rachel Stevenson – Astronomer, NASA Postdoctoral Fellow

I’m an astronomer interested in small bodies in the Solar System. My research focuses on characterizing asteroids, comets, and related bodies with the goal of understanding their origin and evolution. I am especially interested in the links between apparently distinct families of objects.

I obtained a Masters in Astrophysics from University College London, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles.  I am currently a NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
