Summary

My research revolves around numerical modelling of meteorite impacts. I am a member of NASA-led InSight mission on Mars that investigates the internal structure of the planet using seismology. I use numerical simulations to constrain the properties of seismic waves generated by impacts and link them to impact conditions, as well as aid the efforts to distinguish impacts from other seismic sources on Mars.
