I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at University of Maryland Baltimore County through the CRESST II program. I began work at GSFC in January 2019 through the NASA Postdoctoral Program. I am currently researching planetary boundary layer processes on Mars using surface-based meteorological observations.

Brief Bio
Current Projects
Boundary layer processes
Mars
I am currently researching short timescale variations in temperature data for surface-based missions. I aim to understand the local processes within the boundary layer that affect meteorological measurements on Mars.
