About
Dr. Anna Chiara Tangari is a leading figure in planetary geology and archaeometry, renowned for her pioneering work in the development of ultra-miniaturised analytical instrumentation. Her most-cited research, published in 2015, details the creation of a combined X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument designed for in situ mineralogical and chemical analysis of planetary soils and rocks. This breakthrough has profound implications not only for space exploration—enabling real-time compositional analysis on Mars or the Moon—but also for archaeometry, where non-destructive, portable tools are critical for studying cultural heritage materials. With over a dozen citations, this work has already influenced instrument design for future missions and terrestrial applications. Dr. Tangari’s contributions bridge the gap between planetary science and archaeology, demonstrating how cutting-edge technology can solve cross-disciplinary challenges. Her research continues to shape the next generation of field-portable spectrometers, making her a key innovator in both fields.
