Hi, I am a graduate student working towards my Ph.D. in Astronomy at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. I work with Prof. Jim Bell on recent results from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission. Specifically, I am using the Pancam instruments to study the surface composition and history of water at Gusev Crater. I also work with MER operations as a Pancam Payload Downlink Lead.
I also blog at The Martian Chronicles.
