JOIN US!

We welcome inquiries from prospective graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, undergraduates, high school students, and visitors interested in our work. We are an interdisciplinary group driven by curiosity about all things geological and planetary, with expertise in both experimental and computational methods. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, including geosciences, physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science. 

Whether it's tinkering with lasers and diamonds in the lab or running quantum mechanical simulations at a café, we will work together to explore research topics that build on your strengths and create opportunities for you to grow across disciplinary boundaries. No prior experience in Earth and planetary sciences is required. If would like to explore research opportunities with us, you are welcome to contact Junjie Dong at dong2j@caltech.edu.
