Biography
Features activities Research field is astrobiology (origins, evolution, distribution and destiny of life) based on analytical chemistry. Collaborating with astronomers, biologists, physicians, etc., I am performing experiments simulating space environments by using accelerators and analyzing samples in cosmo- and geo- extreme environments.
