Ramon Brasser

Ramon Brasser is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Planetary Habitability, University of Oslo, specializing in planetary formation and habitability. His interdisciplinary work combines dynamical modeling, cosmochemistry, geochemistry, and geochronology to explore the origins and evolution of planets in our solar system and beyond.

Key research areas include:

• Mechanisms and timescales of terrestrial planet formation
• Post-formation impact bombardment and its effects on planetary crusts
• Role of central stars in planet formation and habitability
• Long-term planetary habitability and delivery of biogenic materials
• Tidal evolution of planets and satellites

He utilizes high-performance computing (GPU/CPU) on EU supercomputers and in-house facilities, with future plans to incorporate experimental work. He teaches the course From Planets to Cells at IISER Pune, India.

Brasser has held appointments as a Professor II at the University of Oslo and as a Research Fellow at Konkoly Observatory, Hungary.
