Biography

2016-present. PhD University of Chicago (advisor: Edwin Kite)

2012-2016. BS California Institute of Technology (advisors: Mike Lamb and Marisa Palucis)

Research Interests

Broadly, I am interested in developing mathematical models of the physical processes that modify the surfaces of terrestrial planets.  With my advisor, Edwin Kite, I am working on modeling Martian surface modification by fluvial erosion and impact cratering. Comparisons of models and data enable us to constrain aspects of Mars' climatic history.
