Ishaan Madan works in astrobiology and planetary science, focusing on whether the chemical building blocks of life (like amino acids, nucleobases, and sugars) could form or survive on other worlds such as Titan and Venus. Much of this work involves computational modeling of chemical thermodynamics and stability, alongside development of software pipelines for chemistry data analysis, often in support of planned space missions like NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan.
