I am an astrobiologist: a geoscientist interested in the co-evolution of life and planetary environments across large spans of space and time. As a Chancellor’s Fellow (tenure-track) at the University of Edinburgh’s UK Centre for Astrobiology, I focus on the search for traces of ancient life in rocks from Earth that resemble those from Mars. My work has been published in 30+ journal articles, and reported by a wide range of TV, radio, online and printed media. I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and of the Geological Society of London, a member of the Palaeontological Association and the Astrobiology Society of Britain, and an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Astrobiology.
