I am a graduate student in the Geological and Planetary Science (GPS) division of the California Institute of Technology. Under the guidance of my thesis advisor, Mark Richardson, I am investigating the dynamical paleoclimatology of Mars. This work includes investigating the atmospheric dynamics of the carbon dioxide atmosphere, the controls on precipitation and aridity, and the sedimentary signature of the Martian paleoclimate.

Immediately before Caltech I was an engineer for four years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I worked a wide range of projects, from advanced concept design to technology development to flight development to operations. In the future, I hope to combine this instrument experience with my scientific research.

A quick overview of my work can be found in my CV.
