About Me

My name is Sabrina Schwinger and I studied Geoscience (Petrology) at the Ruhr-University Bochum, where I obtained my PhD in 2016. After that I joined the TRR 170 as a postdoc in Project C4 for the first funding period and started working at the Institute for Planetary Research of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Berlin. For the second funding period I continued working there on TRR 170 Project A5.

My main research interests are

  • lunar magma ocean solidification and early interior evolution of the Moon

  • thermodynamic and kinetic modeling of heating, melting and crystallization processes
