​I completed my PhD in Astronomy and Planetary Science at Northern Arizona University in December 2024. My dissertation work, "Experimental Studies Involving Mixtures of Methane, Ethane, Propane, and Nitrogen with Implications for Titan," was carried out in the Astrophysical Materials Lab under the advisement of Dr. Jennifer Hanley (Lowell Observatory, NAU Dept. of Astronomy and Planetary Science) and Dr. Stephen Tegler (NAU Dept. of Astronomy and Planetary Science) and funded through the NASA FINESST Fellowship Program.

I am now a postdoctoral fellow at JPL, contributing to the ongoing work with the Mars Perseverance SHERLOC instrument, in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Hand and Dr. Kyle Uckert. I also have side quests involving the investigation of Titan materials via neutron diffraction at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source facility and the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS), as well as continuing work using molecular dynamics modeling to explore the interactions of anion exchange resins in alkaline environments for use in moisture-swing direct air carbon capture pumps.
