Dr Martin Homann is a Senior Research Fellow at the University College London, UK. He is a field geologist with a strong passion for astrobiology, geobiology, and the origin and evolution of life on Earth and beyond. His research combines detailed outcrop and hand sample observations with elemental and stable isotope signatures and examines morphological and geochemical biosignatures in Earth’s most ancient sedimentary archives. He obtained his PhD in Geobiology from the Free University Berlin, Germany, in 2016. After three years of postdoctoral research at the University of Western Brittany, France, he joined the University College London as Assistant Professor in Sedimentology between 2019-2022. He then continued his research at the California Institute of Technology as a Visiting Associate, before he moved back to the UK in 2024.
