Glenn M. Mason
 
Professor

Institute for Physical Science and Technology

Department of Physics

 
Ph.D., Physics, 1971, University of Chicago
 
Research Interests: The origin and evolution of the solar system and galaxy can be studied by measuring the composition of their condensed and gaseous materials. These compositional data contain information on processes that created the material both in the big-bang, in later nucleosynthetic processing, and, more recently, in fractionation processes associated with the condensation of the material from the interstellar medium into stars, planets, and smaller objects.
