Dad, planetary scientist and ally, Scot, astrophotographer, drummer, co-owner of GeologyCat
My mission is to understand the geophysical processes operating with planetary solid and liquid interiors that influence their thermal, orbital, and habitable evolution over time. I want to discover how these processes can be observed using data from existing and future spacecraft missions.
I am a postdoctoral research scientist in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford. I was a postdoctoral researcher fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, working as an affiliate of the Europa Clipper mission, until 2022. I completed my PhD at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, researching oceanic tides of the outer solar system's icy moons and beyond.
Outside of science you can find me looking after my daughter, woodworking, hiking, looking at rocks, photographing the night sky, biking, drumming to progressive metal, writing music, and petting GeologyCat.
