Welcome

The Salvat laboratory has historically been focused on a variety of disciplines, spanning geology, mineralogy, materials science, chemistry, and environmental engineering. Currently, the lab focuses on the rationalization of theory with experiment in the context of X-Ray spectroscopic techniques.

The laboratory is run exclusively by Jenna Salvat, an aspiring independent scientist who has synthesized a diverse experiential background in the humanities, arts, mathematics. She believes strongly that careful review of existing literature and investment in fundamental science research can illuminate crucial details which historically have been overlooked.

Jenna is committed to enhancing accessibility in science, and has great interest in interpreting science to the general public. She is defiant of intellectual ego and the concept of scientists existing only in “ivory towers.” In her pursuit of becoming a lecturer, she believes that engaging and thorough lectures combined with experiential learning should be tantamount in education.
