Merve Yesilbas
Merve Yesilbas is responsible for the course Biophysical-chemical Concepts. She is an assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry. In her research she investigates how minerals, water, and planetary environments interact to shape the bio(geo)chemical conditions required for life. The research focuses on the catalytic roles of minerals and rocks in initiating, stabilizing, and preserving life sustaining chemical reactions, with a central goal of addressing a fundamental astrobiological question: Is there, or has there ever been, life on Mars?
