I am a seismologist and planetary scientist working on observing and simulating waves propagating on the Earth, our Moon, and the other worlds of the Solar System. Most of my research focuses on computational simulation and analysis of seismic datasets gathered from 'extreme' regions of the Solar System, including Antarctica, the deep ocean, Mars, and (in future) the icy moons of the outer Solar System. I'm a member of the science teams for NASA's InSight, Dragonfly, and VIPER missions.

Before coming to Johns Hopkins I did my PhD and a short fellowship (with a focus on diversity, access to higher education, and widening participation) at the University of Oxford in the UK, and my undergraduate degree at Imperial College in London.
