Undergraduates
Current ASU students interested in planetary science research are more than welcome to contact me! We might be able to kickstart a small project. You’ll probably enjoy working with most if you have some background in math (calculus and differential equations) and physics (intro mechanics and E&M)—and if you’ve watched or read The Expanse!
Graduate Students
Click here for general information about SESE’s graduate program.
At ASU SESE, individual faculty essentially decide whether or not to admit individual students. (In contrast, some other programs decide to admit an entire cohort of students via a committee-based process.) Contacting potential advisors to see if they plan to recruit new students is usually a good idea. Unfortunately, I am not planning to sponsor any new graduate students for admission in the next cycle (i.e., to start Fall 2025 or earlier) as a primary advisor. I’ll update this blurb if that changes.
Postdoctoral Researchers
I am happy to collaborate on proposals for externally funded postdoctoral fellowships, including the SESE Exploration Postdoctoral Fellowship and/or opportunities via NASA and the NSF.
