Professor Sanjeev Gupta

Professor Sanjeev Gupta is one of the lead academics directing the Mars Curiosity mission, where his role is to analyse ancient sedimentary rocks on Mars and determine if the Red Planet could ever have been habitable for life.

He is a geologist in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College and has spent much of his career studying ancient sedimentary rock formations in places like the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, and New Mexico. He analyses sedimentary rocks to reconstruct ancient landscapes and past environmental conditions.
