I am a 5th year graduate student at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at University of Arizona.
My research interests include most problems relating to planetary geology. In particular, I am
interested in mantle convection, tectonics, impact crater formation, and surface processes. With
my Ph.D. advisor, Prof. Adam Showman, I am studying the thermal evolution of Io. I have also worked
with Prof. Jay Melosh and Dr. Veronica Bray investigating the formation of central pit craters
on Ganymede.
Before arriving at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, I earned a B.A. in astronomy at Cornell
University.
