Biography
Dr Keyron Hickman-Lewis, Birbeck College London
Keyron has been a Research Assistant (2019–2020) , CNRS Orléans (France) and Università di Bologna (Italy)
Aurora Research Fellow (2021–2024), Natural History Museum, London
Research Fellow (2024–2024) , Imperial College London
and from 2024 a Lecturer in Planetary Exploration, Birkbeck, University of London
His research interests are
Co-evolution of Earth and Life in the Precambrian: can we constrain the emergence of major microbial metabolisms throughout the Precambrian and their relationship with changing sedimentary environments and ocean chemistry?
Modern analogues of ancient ecosystems: How can we use extreme planetary field analogues most effectively to explain geological and ecological aspects of environments on the early Earth and Mars?
Technique development: How can we harness non-traditional and emerging instrumentation and data treatment (e.g. chemometrics) to shed new light on the ancient fossil record?
Planetary exploration: How can we effectively utilise space mission observations, including rover and orbiter datasets, to reconstruct past environments and habitability throughout the Solar System?
