Ted Bunch has over thirty years of research experience that has mainly involved study of experimental and naturally shocked materials, lunar samples, terrestrial mineralogy and petrology, and meteorite and interplanetary dust (IDP) samples. The last ten years has been devoted largely to the study of secondary alteration (aqueous and thermal) of carbonaceous chondrites, IDPs, experimental shock testing of carbonaceous survivability, and impact crater studies (experimental and natural). He is a PI in NASA's Exobiology Program, a co-investigator and science team leader on the Ames Aerogel Parametric Testing Program and Ames cosmic dust collection projects that include, among others, the ESA/MIR Mission (1995-6), in addition to being the lead scientist for Exobiology's Long Duration Exposure Facility studies. He is also developing hypervelocity impact techniques for the Ames Vertical Gun impact experiments on meteorites, carbonaceous materials, and aerogel particle collectors.
