Dr. rer. nat. Manuel Reinhardt
Member of the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer (MOMA) Science Team (ESA ExoMars mission)Research Interests
My research focuses on paleoecosystems and the continental deep biosphere. In my studies I am using various state-of-the-art techniques, including GC-MS, GC-C-IRMS, HyPy, Raman spectroscopy and SIMS, to characterize biosignatures in modern and ancient materials.
