Research group
We're investigating the evolution of comets, Mars and other cosmic bodies that have ice, not necessarily water.
In addition, we deal with computer simulations, direct space research, and laboratory measurements.
In the laboratory, we examine the properties of various types of ice found in comet nuclei.
