He completed an undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham and a DPhil at Oxford University in the UK, followed by postdoctoral work at the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique in Paris and at the University of Chicago.

Robin’s research focuses on how the atmospheres, climates and habitability of terrestrial planets evolve through time, and spans topics from contemporary climate change on Earth to the atmospheres of ‘sub-Neptune’ exoplanets. He was awarded a NSF CAREER grant in 2018 and has served on the Planetary Science Decadal Survey and the Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science for the NAS.
