Paul H. I. McDonald

Paul H. I. McDonald is a Canadian-American astrophysicist known for his work on planetary systems, including exoplanets and the habitability of planets beyond our solar system. He studies how planets form, evolve, and whether they can support life, often using computer models and data from space telescopes. McDonald has contributed to understanding the structure and atmospheres of planets outside our solar system, helping scientists identify potentially habitable worlds. His research provides insights into the conditions needed for life and the diversity of planetary systems in the universe.
