About
Hejiu Hui is a leading figure in planetary science, whose work centers on the geochemistry and petrology of extraterrestrial materials, with a particular focus on the Moon and Mars. His research has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of lunar and Martian crustal evolution, volatile cycles, and the history of water in the inner solar system. Hui’s most influential contributions include pioneering studies on the hydrogen isotopic composition of lunar apatite, which provided critical evidence for a wetter lunar interior than previously assumed, and detailed geochemical analyses of Martian meteorites that constrain the planet’s magmatic history. His work has garnered over 2,500 citations, reflecting its profound impact on the field. Notably, his 2024 paper “Return to the Moon: New perspectives on lunar exploration” (68 citations) synthesizes decades of data to guide future missions, underscoring his role as a key voice in modern exploration. Hui’s achievements include leading NASA-funded projects and serving on science teams for lunar sample analysis, making him a vital bridge between laboratory discoveries and the next era of planetary exploration.
