University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Eamonn Kerins is an astrophysicist in The University of Manchester’s Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics. His interests include finding planets around other stars and making large surveys of our Milky Way Galaxy. Eamonn looks for cool planets around other stars by detecting how they warp space-time. He co-leads the Exoplanet Science Working Group for the European Space Agency's upcoming Euclid space mission, and has previously acted as a consultant for NASA's WFIRST space telescope proposal. He is also a member of the MiNDSTEp team, which looks for planets using ground-based telescopes.
Prof. Kathleen A Campbell
University of Auckland, New Zealand
Kathy is a geologist, paleoecologist and astrobiologist. The broad theme of her research is paleoecology - the interaction of ancient organisms with their surrounding environments - whether they were living in normal marine environments, along geologically dynamic active margins, nestled within coastal dunes and marshes, or are/were surviving in harsh 'extreme' environments such as undersea cold hydrocarbon seeps or terrestrial hot springs. Her extremophile/extreme environment studies have broad implications for questions concerning the origin and nature of early life on Earth and whether life ever existed on Mars.
