Our research focuses on Comparative Planetology and Solar System Exploration.
We specialize in the design, calibration, and operation of remote sensing instruments on robotic planetary spacecraft.
Scientifically, we are interested in the processes that shape planetary surfaces and atmospheres, with particular emphasis on Mars and outer solar system satellites.
