About Me


I am interested in using remote sensing to explore the evolution of planetary surfaces, using techniques such as radar and visible light imagery. At Western, I am working with Dr. Catherine Neish in the Neish Lab. My past research experience includes studying cratering and resurfacing on Venus using reprocessed Magellan data, as well as projects ranging from Mini-RF observations of lunar polar craters to geologic studies of icy satellites such as Europa and Enceladus. Outside of my day job, I enjoy listening to and playing music, watching Star Trek, and going on long walks.
