Rhonda M. Stroud (born 1971)[1] is a materials physicist and planetary scientist at the United States Naval Research Laboratory, where she heads the Nanoscale Materials Section.[2] She is known for her research on nanostructures, including quasicrystals and aerogel,[3] and on the materials that make up comets[4] and cosmic dust.[5][6] She pioneered the use of focused ion beam technology in the study of meteorites.[7]
Education and career[]
Stroud graduated from Cornell University in 1991 and completed a Ph.D. in 1996 at Washington University in St. Louis.[3] She joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1996 as a postdoctoral researcher, and two years later obtained a permanent position there as a staff scientist.[8]
She served as president of the Microanalysis Society for 2018–2020.[9]
Recognition[]
Stroud was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2010.[3] She is also a fellow of the Meteoritical Society.[9][10] Asteroid 8468 Rhondastroud was named after her in 2012.[1][2]
