Research Focus
I am a planetary scientist who studies the composition and evolution of planets and their atmospheres. My research has encompassed many of the planets and moons in our solar system, planets that orbit distant stars, as well as rogue planets that exist between the stars. I have participated in a variety of NASA rocket, space shuttle, satellite that study the Earth, as well as deep space robotic missions to other planets. More recently, I am a Science Team Member, and Mission Co-Investigator on the NASA/New Horizons Spacecraft Mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth.
