Experience
I develop scientific software and mission-oriented workflows for multi-spacecraft analysis, and model the interiors of icy moons, with experience across ESA, NASA JPL, and academia.
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Conducting research at NASA JPL focused on the internal structures and ocean chemistry of Europa and Ganymede, supporting interpretation of measurements from Europa Clipper and JUICE.
- Developing geophysical and geochemical models to explore a broad range of plausible subsurface ocean structures.
- Linking forward-modeled observables to mission measurements to improve interpretation of interior properties.
- Assessing implications for habitability and chemical environments in icy ocean worlds.
European Space Agency
Contributed to JUICE and BepiColombo mission analysis by developing tools and data strategies that improved coordination and science-readiness across distributed spacecraft assets.
- Designed and implemented SolarConflux, a Python workflow to identify multi-spacecraft geometric opportunities supporting solar event analysis and coordinated observations.
- Enabled rapid evaluation of favorable observation windows across heliophysics assets for coordinated analysis.
- Contributed to the architecture of a comprehensive JUICE data environment in preparation for science operations and incoming datasets.
Tohoku University
Conducted planetary science research at Tohoku University in support of the MMX mission, investigating origin hypotheses of Phobos and Deimos through surface analysis and laboratory comparisons.
- Performed spectral analysis of the Martian moons’ surface to evaluate competing origin scenarios.
- Studied analogue samples and laboratory datasets to constrain compositional interpretations.
- Contributed to laboratory analysis of Ryugu samples to support comparative studies of primitive bodies.
LATMOS
Conducted a mission concept study focused on Ceres geomorphology and cryovolcanism, contributing to early-stage design decisions for a CubeSat exploration architecture.
- Analyzed surface features to define science-driven mission requirements.
- Performed preliminary sizing and feasibility assessment of a sounder radar payload for a 3U CubeSat platform.
- Evaluated technical trade-offs linking scientific objectives to engineering constraints.
