I am a planetary scientist with a special love for the Moon. I study the large-scale interior structure and surface processes of the Moon and other planetary bodies in our solar system; aided by spacecraft data, theoretical models, and big data tools.  I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.  My current projects involve studying the age, impact history, and volatile content of the south pole of the Moon to enhance the science of upcoming lunar missions.
