Biography
Starting July 1, 2023
My research explores the rich diversity of physical processes that shape planetary surfaces and climates across the Solar System. With spacecraft observations, mathematical and computational models, and laboratory experiments, I seek to understand how these many surfaces came to be, and what that implies for their ever-changing planetary climates.
