About Me

Exploring Earth's atmosphere from the bottom of the world

I'm a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at CU Boulder, researching ionospheric variability during geomagnetic storms and sudden stratospheric warmings. I've operated lidar systems at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and worked on lunar trajectory design. My work combines satellite observations with ground-based instruments to understand our planet's upper atmosphere.
