Physical Sciences

Summary

My research is primarily focused on understanding how planetary systems form and evolve, in particular the solar system. That involves investigation of the dynamical evolution and collisional history of planets and small solar system bodies (comets, asteroids and meteoroids) through computer models and crater observations. These models, along with crater records, inform about the planet formation processes and their subsequent dynamical evolution.
