A molecular journey : tales of sublimating ices from hot cores to comets

Abstract

The

thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and

changing physical architectures during the formation of stars. The motivation

behind the work is an aspiration to better understand how the Solar System came to be, which processes led to its chemical composition and ultimately, what enabled life to evolve on Earth.
