Sabrina Khan is a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University pursuing a degree in planetary geology. Her research is centered around the surface processes that drive landscape evolution across rocky worlds in our solar system, with a focus on Mars and its geologic history. Sabrina is broadly interested in bridging science, engineering and policy to discover new and equitable ways of exploring space and preparing the next generation of STEM students. She is a 3x NASA JPL intern, a former MIT Pozen Fellow working in the commercial space industry, and former Vice Chair of the AIAA’s Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics (WoAA). Her mission experience includes work on the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, MSL Curiosity rover, and the small-satellite BeaverCube. Sabrina earned her bachelor’s degree from MIT in Planetary Science and Aerospace Engineering in 2021, with a minor in Science, Technology and Society studies. She is currently funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP).
