My main research interests are planetary exploration and astrobiology, the search for the origins, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe.
Specifically, I seek to understand whether oceans on other worlds harbor life by simulating their physics and chemistry, through laboratory and field studies of similar places on Earth where microbial life thrives, and by developing future space missions to explore these ocean worlds.
