01 ABOUT ME
I'm a PhD student in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests focus on the development of in-situ life detection instruments for planetary exploration in water worlds across our Solar system and beyond. I am also passionate in the study of organic molecules within carbonaceous chondrites and their implications towards the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere.
