My research interests focus on the use of orbital radar observations to study the geology of planetary surfaces, with a particular focus on processes related to impact cratering. To pursue my interest in planetary radar, I am involved in several spacecraft missions.
I am a Co-Investigator on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s (LRO) Mini-RF instrument, and was an associate member of the Cassini RADAR team. I am also a Co-Investigator on NASA's Dragonfly mission, a rotorcraft lander that will characterize Titan's habitability and prebiotic environment.
