Biography
As a planetary scientist I am broadly interested in studying the origin and evolution of small bodies in our solar system, from asteroids and meteorites to our moon. In my research I use spectroscopy, EPMA, and other laboratory techniques to study meteorites from micron to centimeter spatial scales and then apply these laboratory-derived spectral and compositional relationships to studying asteroids from centimeter to kilometer spatial scales. I am currently a team member on both JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return missions.
