Sev Zielinska

Hello World!

I am an astrophysicist-turned-astrobiologist (and I'm not going back!) with a particular interest in the prebiotic and abiotic. 

My interests lie in determining the origin of life on Earth and the possibility of life forming on other planets. I am especially interested in exploration of agnostic biosignatures, developing robust criteria for biogenicity, and employing the signal-baseline approach in the search for life. 

My research aims to explore the preservation potential of compounds/structures proposed as biosignatures and proto‑biosignatures across terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments, and their relevance in the formation of protocells on the early Earth. 

I am part of the ProtoSigns Research Group! protosignslab.com
