I work on several research projectsthat focus on different aspects of planetary science within my current group and I’ve had the chance to work on a few projects. My full list of publications is available here.

current groups

  • Laboratory Surface Science Group conducts a variety of research to study the physical properties and compositions of the Moon, asteroids, and Mars by combining laboratory measurements and analysis of spacecraft data to address ongoing questions. This includes work within the Exolith Lab.
  • FROSTIE Lab, the Facility for Research Observing Simulated Topography of Icy Environments, researches geomorphological processes and how they shape planetary surfaces and reveal clues about environmental conditions, habitability, and landing-site integrity.
