About me:
I graduated from Durham University in the UK with my BSc in Geosciences in 2018, and joined the Geophysical Sciences Department that same year. Since starting at UChicago, I have worked on problems in areas ranging from sediment transport on Mars, to the evolution of Venus' atmosphere with my advisor Prof. Edwin Kite. I am broadly interested in what geology can tell us about how planetary atmospheres and climates have evolved over geologic time, integrating tools such as high-resolution spacecraft imagery and numerical modeling to investigate processes like impact cratering, erosion during dam breaching events, and volcanic degassing.
