Dr. Zoe Landsman

Dr. Zoe Landsman received her Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the University of Central Florida in 2011. She then worked in private industry before returning to UCF for graduate school as a Florida Space Grant Fellow. She received her PhD in Physics with a concentration in Planetary Science from UCF in 2017. Dr. Landsman completed a two-year postdoc at the Florida Space Institute from 2017-2019 and now works as a Scientist at the Florida Space Institute.

Dr. Landsman studies the surfaces of asteroids and other airless solar system bodies. She uses both observational, modeling, and laboratory techniques, including infrared spectroscopy and thermophysical modeling, to investigate the compositions and regolith properties of these bodies. This work places constraints on models of solar system formation and evolution and is further motivated by the need to assess space resources and hazards.
