Measurements, Mechanisms, and Models of Heat Transport

Anne M. Hofmeister is research professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. She received an MS in physics from University of Illinois and a PhD in geology from California Institute of Technology, United States and has received several fellowships and awards. She has served as editor of American Mineralogist and was recently the keynote speaker at the European Conference on Mineral Spectroscopy. Her research interests include heat transport, thermodynamics, interaction of light with matter, and the applications of such studies to planetary science, earth science, astronomy, and materials science. She has authored over 140 peer-reviewed publications in astronomy, physics, geology, and planetary science journals.
