​Nandita Kumari, a former graduate student at Stony Brook University, utilized machine learning to analyze lunar composition, aiming to identify resources like water and minerals for NASA's Artemis missions. Her research focused on quantifying rock compositions on the Moon, enhancing resource identification for future lunar exploration. Kumari's work contributes to sustainable space exploration by reducing reliance on Earth-supplied materials. She has since advanced her studies as a postdoctoral associate with the LunaSCOPE project at Brown University
