I am currently a postdoctoral research scholar at Purdue University within the Laboratory studies of the Evolution of Airless Planetary Surfaces (LEAPS) group. I study airless body surface properties and processes through coordinated analytical techniques. My work includes using simulated environment systems to perform space weathering experiments, analyzing planetary analog materials using infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy, and performing ground-based telescopic observations. My primary bodies of interest include Mercury and carbonaceous asteroids.
