Gabriel Tobie is a French planetary scientist who began studying the interiors of icy moons after growing up inspired by NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter. He now develops models to understand how tidal friction could power the activity of Europa, Enceladus and other icy moons. Credit: Nick Higgins
