Associate Professor
I am currently offering opportunities for Masters and PhD students to work on exciting research in Astrobiology and Planetary Science. Projects can be remote sensing based or laboratory based (or a combination of both). Some of the exciting topics include exploring lakes and seas on Mars, exploring hydrothermal and volcanic deposits on Mars, and landing site selection for future missions. Our team is also exploring biosignatures withing ancient (and recent) rocks on Earth.
At HKU, I operate the Planetary Spectroscopy and Mineralogy Laboratory (PSML), which is designed to characterize the mineralogy of rocks, minerals and planetary materials from the sub-micrometer scale, to millimeter scales, hand sample scales, and on to remote sensing spatial scales.
If you are looking for graduate school or postdoc opportunities and want to join a hardworking, friendly team of colleagues, please get in touch.
Scholarships are not mandatory, but may be available for excellent students. These competitive, but well paid scholarships require early applications, so please pay attention to the published dates and deadlines.
