Forming Worlds Lab
We investigate how rocky planets form, evolve, and develop the conditions for life. Our research connects planetary interiors, atmospheres, and climates across cosmic time, combining numerical modelling with observational constraints from the Solar System and exoplanets.
🪨
Rocky Exoplanets
What are the primary types of rocky planets? What kind of interiors and atmospheres do super-Earth planets develop?
🌋
Magma Oceans
How do magma oceans interact with early atmospheres? What can lava exoplanets reveal about planetary evolution?
🌍
Origins of Life
What were the conditions on the earliest Earth? How frequent are worlds amenable to prebiotic chemistry?
