Kevin Heng

Kevin Heng serves as Professor and Director of the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) at the University of Bern, leading interdisciplinary research on planetary systems and extraterrestrial life potential.

His work centers on exoplanet atmospheric dynamics, habitable zone modeling, and biosignature detection, bridging astrophysics, climate science, and astrobiology. Research emphasizes computational modeling of planetary climates to assess conditions for life beyond Earth.

As Director of CSH, he oversees collaborative projects analyzing observational data from space telescopes and developing theoretical frameworks for habitability assessment across diverse planetary environments.
