Profile

I love walking my dog and staying fit – I enjoy going to the gym, running, cycling and swimming, and participate in a various charity events. In the last year I have completed the Shine night walk marathon, a triathlon and a half marathon!

I completed an MSci in Physical Geography at Loughborough University, where I developed a keen interest in satellite data for studying Martian geomorphology and surface processes. I then pursued an MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing at the University of Southampton to deepen my expertise in remote sensing technologies for planetary research.

Beyond my research, I try to be active in science outreach. I have led 2 school research projects with Orbyts, where we aim to enhance palaeohydrological reconstructions of ancient river deltas on Mars.

I’m currently investigating climate change on Mars by analysing ancient river features and reconstructing the in-channel processes active billions of years ago. My research at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory focuses on understanding the evolution of Mars’ surface and assessing its potential habitability in the past.

My work primarily relies on data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft. As a planetary geomorphologist, I integrate knowledge from the Earth’s geological processes as analogues to interpret the Martian environment.

I’m also involved with research into Martian sand dunes, which are currently among the most dynamic landforms shaping the surface of Mars today.
