Yvonne Pendleton is an infrared observational astronomer in the Planetary Systems Branch at NASA-Ames. She received her Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1987. Her research interests are focussed on the study of interstellar dust and the composition of primitive solar system objects. She is currently investigating the organic component of the interstellar medium and the incorporation of that material into the early solar nebula. She recently organized a conference entitled "From Stardust to Planetesimals" which brought together astronomers interested in star and planet formation, planetary scientists studying early solar system relics, laboratory scientists studying the processing of analogs, and scientists analyzing meteorites and interplanetary dust particles.
