Sachiko Amari Explained

Sachiko Amari is a Japanese astrophysicist who focuses upon presolar grains. She developed the method for isolating presolar grains in primitive meteorites and also researched noble gases in meteorites.^[1] Amari was awarded the Urey Medal by the European Association of Geochemistry in 2021.^[2] She currently is a Research Professor of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis.

Early life and education

Sachiko Amari received her PhD in 1986, at Kobe University, where she studied extra-terrestrial material within deep-sea sediments.^[3]

Career and research

Sachiko Amari worked as a research assistant with the University of Chicago's Chemistry Department starting in 1988. She then began working at Washington University in St. Louis in 1990 where she currently still works as a Research Professor of Physics. Amari is also a visiting scientist at the Geochemical Research Center at the University of Tokyo, Japan.^[4]

Sachiko Amari also has been a fellow of the Meteoritical Society since 2000^[5] and is a fellow of the Japan Geoscience Union as of 2022.^[6]
