​

• 02/2025 - Publication - New research published in Science Advances where Daman, along with Surjyendu Bhattacharjee, Bidong Zhang, Nicole Nie and Yoshinori Miyazaki, use equilibrium partitioning models to show that MVE depletion in terrestrial planets is probably linked to MVE loss during planetesimal collisions rather than incomplete condensation or MVE loss during planetesimal differentiation.

​

Congrats on your first publication with the Group, Varun!
