Stephanie Connell's research focuses on using spectroscopic techniques, especially Raman spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, to study the surface materials of Mars, the Moon, and asteroids. Much of the recent work involves analyzing data from the SuperCam and SHERLOC instruments on NASA's Perseverance rover at Jezero Crater, Mars, searching for hydrated minerals and possible organic molecules, alongside work on lunar analogue materials and small satellite (CubeSat) instrument development.
Publication output rose sharply after 2019, peaked around 2020-2022, dipped in 2023, and has remained fairly steady at 8-9 papers per year in 2024-2025.
