Marco Jusino-Malcdonado joins us as a Student Researcher from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez. Marco’s research focuses on fully understanding the abiogenesis zone and its properties. He studies exoplanets located inside the abiogenesis zone of their respective system by applying them to the Planetary Habitability Laboratory’s Habitable Exoplanet Catalog.
Marco will work with Bob Hazen and Jim Cleaves to use ACD labs and Agilent software to characterize the molecular products of the pyrolysis-GC-MS experiments conducted for the Hazen-Cleaves John Templeton Biosignature project from April 10th - June 10th, 2023.
