Assistant Professor
Towson University, Department of Physics, Astronomy and Geosciences
I am an astronomer and planetary scientist. Underlying my work is a deep curiosity about how planets, and the systems they reside in, form and evolve. This is a very broad theme, and my work reflects this diversity, spanning the divide between astronomy and planetary science. The breadth of this topic also means that it touches on many different fields of expertise, and so I work closely with a wide range of other researchers. I typically approach questions from a theoretical perspective, whilst always endeavouring to link back to observational or experimental data.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Geosciences at Towson University.
