Ellen Kooijman
[edit]Ellen Kooijman is a Dutch geoscientist whose work in research is focused in Mineralogy, Geology, and Geochemistry. She has a Master’s Degree in Earth Science from Utrecht University, and a Doctorate in Geochemistry from the University of Münster.[1] She currently works as the Head of the Department of Geosciences at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. She is also known for her work with The Lego Group as a designer of a few projects, most notably the LEGO Research Institute, which featured women in STEM.
Education
[edit]Kooijman earned a Master of Science degree in Earth Science from Utrecht University in the Netherlands.[1] She later pursued a Doctorate in Geochemistry from the University of Münster in Germany under the supervision of acclaimed geochemist Dr. Klaus Mezger, where she performed research focused on Uranium-lead (U–Pb) dating of zircon and rutile using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).[2]
Career
[edit]After completing her doctorate, she stayed for a year at Münster as a postdoctoral researcher. Wanting to move to the United States of America to expand her horizons, she worked as a researcher at the University of California in Santa Barbara where she could continue her work with LA-ICP-MS.[1] She currently works at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm as the Head of the Department of Geoscience, and NordSIMS-Vagacentre the nation research infrastructure for micro-analysis in geosciences as the director.[3] She currently has 136 publications on topics of Mineralogy, Geology and Geochemistry.[4]
Work with LEGO
[edit]Kooijman is also recognized for her impact on popular culture as a designer for LEGO. Under the alias "Alatariel," she created the LEGO Research Institute set, which featured women in STEM roles—a paleontologist, an astronomer, and a chemist.[5][6] The set gained massive support on the LEGO Ideas platform and became a symbol of representation for women in science. She also collaborated on the Big Bang Theory set, and later co-designed the Amelia Earhart Tribute set, inspired by the historical aviator.[7][8]
