My name is Xinmu "Judy” Zhang (张馨木). I am a high-temperature isotope geochemist and cosmochemist in training. I study the evolution of Earth and planetary feedstocks, as well as the origins of life-supporting volatiles, using diverse analytical approaches (noble gas isotopes, highly siderophile element systematics) and numerical modeling.
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), and a McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences Graduate Fellow.
Previously, I earned my B.A. in Earth and Planetary Sciences (Geochemistry) from WashU in December 2021, and my M.S. in Geosciences from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UC San Diego) in June 2023.

Research TOPICs
How were compositional heterogeneities in the present-day terrestrial mantle generated and preserved through accretion and long-term material transport between the deep Earth and surface reservoirs? Example: Zhang et al. 2024 EPSL
How did the compositions of the terrestrial atmosphere, continental crust, and mantle co-evolve over Earth’s history? Example: Zhang et al. 2023 EPSL
How can we obtain early snapshots of planetary evolution processes? What did partial melting and metal–silicate differentiation look like in early Solar System planetary feedstocks? Example: Zhang et al. 2025 GCA
