About me

I am a planetary scientist specializing in the structural geology and tectonics of terrestrial planet. My research explores lithospheric deformation processes that shape the tectonic evolution of Venus and Mars, driven by the complex dynamics of their internal evolution. My academic endeavors use a comparative geological approach involving structural analysis of deformation patterns, remote sensing through ground through observation, analog models for scaling, and computational modeling approaches for testing. This multidisciplinary framework enables me to explore the evolutionary dynamics of terrestrial planets. Although much of my work has focused on these rocky planets, my research interests extend beyond them (e.g., Ganymede), encompassing broader questions about the evolution and habitability of planetary bodies.

In addition to my scientific pursuits, I am deeply passionate about project and team leadership, science communication, teaching, and advancing diversity within the scientific community. My experience reflects a proven ability to effectively manage complex projects, foster collaborative professional relationships, and engage with diverse audiences. I am fully committed to cultivating an academic environment that values inclusivity, equity, and representation, striving to inspire and support the next generation of scientists while contributing to a more accessible and welcoming scientific community.
