I am a graduate student at Arizona State University integrating social science with geology and planetary science, emphasizing interdisciplinarity in my areas of focus. My primary research interests are: 1) magmatic sulfide ore deposits of rocky planetary bodies, 2) thermal/infrared emission spectroscopy and remote sensing, 3) the management of resources in space, 4) legal and governance in areas beyond national jurisdiction such as the High Seas and on other planetary surfaces, and 5) human settlement on the Moon.
