The power of planetary maps to make distant words tangible and knowable is what inspired me to become a scientist. Today my research sits at the intersection of geologic mapping and spectroscopy where I investigate planetary ices and crustal evolution. I also develop tools and methods to enable this work and support the future of human exploration in space.
Note: I’m still working on filling out the details for some of my projects, so check back soon for more or reach out if you have questions!
