Dr. Molaro has extensive experience in thermal and mechanical numerical modeling, an early background in terrestrial fieldwork, and is an expert on the properties of rocks and regolith on airless body surfaces. Her work focuses on physical weathering and thermal metamorphism, and their role in landscape evolution across the solar system. She is best known for her work studying thermal fatigue and fracture on lunar and asteroid surfaces. My service and outreach work focuses on art as a tool to communicate science through workshops and exhibitions, and acting as Director of Disabled for Accessibility In Space (DAIS).
