Kara Brugman is a Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellow who received her Ph.D. in experimental petrology from the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. She conducts high-pressure and high-temperature experiments to explore the possible compositions of exoplanet magmas, as well as their volatile solubility. In addition to preparing for future exoplanet mission data return, Kara creates tools to study pre-eruptive timescales and conditions of large, high-silica magmatic systems such as Yellowstone.
