I primarily study how the impact process shapes surfaces across the Solar System. My work shows how the geologic conditions on different planets and moons affect the development of large impact basins, helping us understand how planets evolve using existing craters that we can observe today!

I am one of the many postdoctoral researchers at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, TX. My research here specifically focuses on the Moon and is a natural extension of the lunar basin modeling work that I began as a PhD student at Brown University.
I was part of the GHOSST lab, a research group led by Professor Alexander Evans at Brown. Although our research interests are distinct, we all use numerical modeling to try to understand the planetary evolution.

In May 2020 I was fortunate to be asked to participate in the Ask A Geologist series at Rutgers University! I spoke about the various types of impact craters and what they can tell us about our Solar System.
