My professional interests are centered around understanding the formation, climate, and habitability of terrestrial planets and how geological processes affected these. My work has been focused on both Mars and Earth using a wide variety of techniques, including working with Mars rovers and satellites, many types of mineral spectroscopy, and stable and clumped isotope geochemistry.

I work on questions such as: What were ancient aqueous environments on Mars like? Could life have existed there? What happened to Mars' water? How can we use minerals to trace past climate conditions of terrestrial planets?
