Prasanna Deshapriya

Planetary scientist working on asteroids and comets (previously). I've worked on Rosetta and OSIRIS-REx space missions in a capacity as an associated scientist. Currently I'm involved with NASA's DART and ASI's LICIACube missions. My speciality is spectroscopy and spectrophotometry of planetary surfaces. My research interest is to understand the composition of small planetary bodies using in-situ observations from space and hence gain more insights about your place in the Solar System.

I'm also a language enthusiast and a polyglot. I speak several languages at different levels of fluencies.
