Pasadena, CA 91109As a JPL postdoc, I work within the Planetary Geosciences and Laboratory Studies groups, carrying out simulations of the martian subsurface groundwater environment in the Origins and Habitability Lab. I have a background in mineralogy, geophysics, geochemistry, and spectroscopy.
I am interested in the feedback between planetary surface processes and the preserved mineralogical and chemical records. Using visible-near infrared spectroscopy, mineral analysis under changing environmental conditions, and statistical methods, my research focuses on water-rock interaction, crystallinity, and distinguishing between surface and subsurface processes.
