After obtaining a masters at Brown in chemistry, she earned her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley working on increasing the analytical chemistry capabilities of the Mars Organic Analyzer microchip capillary electrophoresis instrument platform. She continued in this vein at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, by furthering the microfluidic engineering side of the technology as first a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow and then as a Technologist. At Georgia Tech, her group\u2019s work seeks to do both the engineering and the science to synergistically promote instrument capabilities and robustness.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EStockton\u2019s work utilizes microfluidics at the core, and includes projects developing instrumentation to detect life and determine habitability of extraterrestrial environments, modeling sea spray aerosols on ocean exoplanets, seeking out the limits of life on Earth, and developing novel microfluidic tools and techniques for low-cost, low-resource applications. Her work also includes a strong field work component as lead of the FELDSPAR project and part of the OAST team.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute\u0027s interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member\u0027s research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022From the Earth to the Moon(s): Tiny Technologies for Big Questions\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022From the Earth to the Moon(s): Tiny Technologies for Big Questions\u0022 - Amanda Stockton - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2024-12-02 20:00:07","changed_gmt":"2025-02-17 20:54:23","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-03-25T08:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2025-03-25T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-03-25T09:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-03-25 12:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-03-25 13:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-03-25 13:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building (IBB), Suddath Seminar Room 1128, 315 Ferst Drive","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
