Current Research Projects

My current Ph.D. work focuses on the thermodynamics of amino acid synthesis in Selk‑sized craters on Titan. This project examines the energetic feasibility and environmental conditions necessary for amino acid formation during impact‑induced hydrothermal activity, contributing to our understanding of prebiotic chemistry on icy worlds.
