Manasvi Lingam is an astrobiologist, physicist, and scientific author at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida. He is the primary author of Life in the Cosmos, a landmark textbook in graduate-level astrobiology. Lingam has authored many physics-based papers, on topics such as orbital mechanics,[1] evolutionary biology,[2] plasma physics,[3] astrobiology,[4] and spacecraft propulsion.[5]

Lingam received his bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, followed by a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently an assistant professor at the Florida Institute of Technology, following postdoctoral work at Princeton and Harvard.[6] Lingam currently studies a wide variety of physics- and space-related topics, such as Hamiltonian and Lagrangian models of plasmas, the effects of stellar processes on planetary habitability, and the hypothesis of panspermia.[7]

Lingam has been a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society since 2022.[8]
