Anna Parsec-Wallis

PhD Student

Department of Space and Climate Physics


Anna Parsec-Wallis started her doctoral research in early 2024 in the Planetary Science Group at MSSL, UCL. Her research focuses on resolving chemistry of the plumes at Enceladus and within the atmosphere of Titan, as well as understanding the prebiotic chemistry involved by looking at negative ions discovered during the Cassini mission. 

Apart from current data analysis of the plumes at Enceladus, Anna is working on an instrument design for detection and analysis of negative ions ahead of the announced large-class ESA mission with mission targets being Enceladus and Titan. 

Prior to beginning her PhD studies, Anna worked as a project manager in the fintech industry and learnt to become a light aircraft pilot. Anna holds a MSc in Space Science and Engineering from UCL, BA in Art History from the Russian Academy of Arts and a Diploma in Marketing and International Management from the St. Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance. Outside of academia, Anna runs a web development business with her husband, plays piano, hikes and likes to do a bit of gardening.
