Biography

Victoria (Vikki) Meadows is an astrobiologist and planetary astronomer whose research interests focus on the acquisition and analysis of remote-sensing observations of planetary atmospheres and surfaces. In addition to studying the planets in our own Solar System, she is interested in exoplanets, planetary habitability, and biosignatures. In 2000, she became the Principal Investigator of the Virtual Planetary Laboratory Lead Team at the NASA Astrobiology Institute. The NAI team uses models of planets and planet-star interactions to generate plausible planetary environments and spectra for extrasolar terrestrial planets and early Earth. Her research has contributed to defining the signs of habitability and life for future extrasolar terrestrial planet detection and characterization missions.
