Long Bio

I am a Scientific Software Engineer at the Mars Space Flight Facility on ASU's Tempe campus. I primarily work on ground-based software for spacecraft mission planning and data visualization/analysis, all based on the JMARS product. I have supported the following instruments or missions: Mars Odyssey, OSIRIS-REx, EMIRS, Phoenix Cubesat, Europa Clipper.

I am also involved in research investigating the abundance of doublet impact craters in the Main Belt and across the inner solar system, as they represent the history of widely-separated binary asteroid systems.
