The Galactic Terrestrial Zone in a Cosmological Context Jul 17, 2017 - Sep 1, 2018
The mineralogy of terrestrial planets is controlled by the elemental ratios of carbon-to-oxygen and magnesium-to-silicon. Earth-like planets are shaped by rock-forming oxide species, predominantly in the form of magnesium silicates such as olivine an...

Binding energy of biomolecules on ice-covered grains in the interstellar medium Jul 1, 2018 - Aug 31, 2018
The discovery of glycine, one of the most basic amino acid, on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Rosetta ESA mission has sparked interest in studying the adsorption of molecules of biological interest on interstellar ices. Unfortunately, there is cu... Read More about Binding energy of biomolecules on ice-covered grains in the interstellar medium.
