About
Shruti Choudhary is a materials scientist and planetary researcher whose work focuses on the characterization of fine and ultrafine particulate matter, with a particular emphasis on lunar dust. Her research addresses critical challenges for future lunar missions, including the physical and chemical properties of regolith that pose risks to both equipment and astronaut health. Choudhary’s most-cited paper, “Size and charge distribution characteristics of fine and ultrafine particles in simulated lunar dust: Relevance to lunar missions and exploration” (2021), has garnered 12 citations and provides foundational insights into how particle size and electrostatic charge influence dust behavior in low-gravity environments. This work is essential for developing mitigation strategies for dust adhesion, abrasion, and inhalation hazards during surface operations. By bridging materials science with space exploration, Choudhary contributes to safer, more efficient mission planning for NASA and other space agencies. Her research is particularly relevant to the Artemis program and future lunar habitats, where understanding dust dynamics is key to long-term sustainability.
