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
editSachiko Amari received her PhD in 1986, at Kobe University, where she studied extra-terrestrial material within deep-sea sediments.[3]
Career and research
editSachiko Amari worked as a research assistant with the University of Chicago's Chemistry Department starting in 1988.[3] She then began working at Washington University in St. Louis in 1990 where she currently still works as a Research Professor of Physics.[3] 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]
