Bose is an isotope cosmochemist, investigating the chemistry of asteroids and comets to understand how they originated and processes prevalent in small planetary bodies.
She is an assistant professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University and oversees the NanoSIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer at the nano-scale), part of the National Science Foundation-funded SIMS Facility.

If you are a student or a postdoc and are interested in using mass spectrometry to study material from asteroids and comets, please email me at maitrayee.bose@asu.edu. Currently, I have access to numerous pristine carbonaceous meteorites and material from an Asteroid Itokawa, and looking to hire graduate students to study them.

Spring 2018: SES494/SES598 “Stardust in Meteorites”
Class: F | 10:45-11:45 a.m. | PSH 450
Our solar system did not form from a well-mixed, homogenized gaseous reservoir but contains variable amounts of supernova ejecta and circumstellar materials, which can be identified in meteorites. This hybrid lecture-seminar course will involve a discussion of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis, with an emphasis on understanding the isotopic compositions of nucleosynthetic remnants. We will explore the nature of nucleosynthetic reactions that occurs in stars, and how this affects the compositions of the regions where grains condense. This course will focus on dust grains that condense in the atmospheres of Red Giant and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars as well as Supernova and Nova explosions.

Fall 2017: SES494/SES598 “Water in the Solar System”
Class: MWF 10:45-11:35 a.m. PSH 450
This course will follow NASA’s prior Mars exploration strategy ‘Follow the Water’, and examine the state of knowledge about water and hydrogen isotope fractionation in planets and small planetary bodies in our Solar System. The course seeks to use the distribution of water and hydrogen isotopes as a tracer that provides clues to conditions, events, and physical processes during and subsequent to the formation of planets. The course will focus on the laboratory measurements in samples from Earth, Mars, moon, comets and asteroids including Vesta. Comparisons to remote-sensing observations of water-bearing minerals in these planetary bodies as well as others, such as Ceres, Europa, and Enceladus will also be undertaken.
Students in the astronomical sciences who are eager to learn about remote observations of water in planets and their implications; students in the geological sciences keen to know more about the distribution of water-bearing minerals at local and global scales on surfaces of planets and satellites; and students in the planetary sciences hoping to get an insight into the aqueous processes that shaped the surfaces and interiors of solar system objects can gain something useful from this course.
