Dr. Kimberley Warren-Rhodes is a fearless and natural-born explorer. Kimberley led the first astrobiology surveys of the Taklimakan high-altitude deserts and salt lakes in western China and field-tested Mars rovers in the Atacama Desert. Her current work seeks to apply AI/ML to predict biogeochemical patterns/spatial and functional ecology of microbial communities in extreme environments to hone the search for biosignatures on other worlds.

Her current work seeks to apply AI/ML to predict biogeochemical patterns/spatial and functional ecology of microbial communities in extreme environments to hone the search for biosignatures on other worlds, especially Mars. #notjustaliens
