Lori is a planetary scientist with a background in spectroscopy. As a
graduate student, she studied UV spectra of Io to determine the composition
and distribution of Io's tenuous atmosphere. More recently, she was a
science team member of the Deep Impact mission to comet Tempel 1, using
the IR spectrometer to study the abundance, distribution, and production
rate of molecules in the coma and ejecta of a Jupiter family comet. From
the Deep Impact data, she was able to map the water and carbon dioxide
in the innermost coma of Tempel 1. She is also on the EPOXI science team
and intends to interpret the spectral data acquired at comet Hartley 2
to compare and contrast Jupiter family comets and shed light on their
history in the solar system.
