Main Research Fields

I am a planetary scientist specializing in aeolian geomorphology. At ESA, I use geographic information systems and high resolution imagery to study landforms (like yardangs and periodic bedrock ridges) and bedforms (like megaripples, dunes, transverse aeolian ridges, dust devils, and wind streaks) in remote areas of Earth and Mars to piece together the complex climatic history that has shaped the landscape, either contemporaneously or at some point in the past. 

Currently, I am focused on Martian geology and aeolian dynamics at Oxia Planum - the 2030 landing site of ESA's ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover.
