Computational Astrobiology in Bari University and ISTP-CNR

In this contribution, we will present some results from our latest studies in the field of computational astrobiology, which are devoted to improving our understanding of the origin and evolution of life in the Universe by means of theoretical and computational models. The phenomena that can be studied by means of numerical modeling range from the micro to the macro scale, from molecules to cosmic grains and communities of primordial organisms. These studies may help to develop a global view of the phenomena involved in the origin of life in the wider context of astrobiology.
