About

I'm a 5th-year PhD candidate in Planetary Science with a Systems Engineering minor at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. My advisor is Dani DellaGiustina and I hold an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

My research lives at the intersection of glaciology, planetary science, and systems engineering. I study rift dynamics on the Ross Ice Shelf using satellite remote sensing, build and verify instruments for lunar exploration, and develop systems-theoretic frameworks for engineering practice.

I'm interested in mechanistic interpretability of scientific foundation models, Bayesian reasoning, and building tools that help researchers work more effectively. Outside of research, I cook, lift, take photographs, and tend a garden in Tucson.
