Research

I study rift propagation and kinematics on the Ross Ice Shelf using satellite imagery from Landsat, Sentinel, and historical archives. My current manuscript brings together a number of different lines of evidence to understand how these rifts originated and how they continue to evolve.

These rifts may teach us about tidal fracture mechanics on Enceladus, connecting terrestrial glaciology to ocean worlds science.

I manage documentation of V&V and requirements documentation for SeisLEMS, a lunar seismometer instrument for the Artemis program. This work involves supporting environmental testing (thermal vacuum, vibration), checking requirements traceability, and coordinating across hardware and science teams.

I'm applying systems-theoretic requirements formalism to real-world SE problems in the development of the SeisLEMS seismometer, bridging formal SE theory and engineering practice.
