I am a planetary scientist, which means that my work involves remote sensing of the Earth and other planets. Currently, I am a Senior Research Scientist at my consulting business (PIT), where I pursue my own research projects and provide research, writing, and outreach services on a contract basis.
I received my Ph.D. from the
Department of Geological Sciences, at
Brown University, in 1999.
Since then, I have had a variety of jobs, including:
Postdoctoral Fellow with
Gordon Oskinski at the
Department of Earth Sciences,
University of Western Ontario,
Software Tester at Geosoft Inc.
Lecturer at the Department of Geology,
University of Toronto,
Post-Doctoral Research Associate with
Ed Cloutis at the
Department of Geography,
University of Winnipeg,
Science/Community Liaison for the
SeaWiFS
and the SIMBIOS Projects at
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
My research revolves around remote sensing applications of planetary solid surfaces. This, however, includes a very wide range of issues, such as
evaluating the morphology of planetary surfaces to study their formation processes;
monitoring land, sea, ice, and biosphere interactions to evaluate current and recent changes and potential hazards;
automation of mineral identification using multi- and hyperspectral data;
and identifying and quantifying subsurface deposits on the Moon (work that evolved from my
Ph.D. thesis).
