NASA VIPER VIS Instrument Scientist Adapted NASA JPL VICAR software for Stereo and Panorama processing to support VIPER VIS camera system. Developed OpenCV to JPL CAHVORE camera model conversion Python software. Development of photogrammetry pipeline using Ames Stereo Pipeline for VIPER VIS camera system. Reviewed reference Python implementation of Lunar Grid Reference System as part of the Artemis Geospatial Team. Principal Investigator for NASA ROSES PDART23 #37 ‘Improving SpiceyPy: the Python SPICE interface.’

Mars 2020 Rover Science Team Collaborator, Mastcam-Z Postdoctoral Collaborator. Tactical Science Operations Payload Uplink Lead for geology and multispectral targeting of Mastcam-Z during rover planning. Directed and communicated observation requirements, science intent, and pointing designs to science and engineering leads. Participated in science discussion and campaign implementation meetings and Sedimentology and Stratigraphy working groups. Contributed to open-source software for OGC Tiles and dynamic raster tile servers to improve accessibility of planetary science data. Developed application of Segment Anything Model (SAM) to Mastcam-Z & NavCam images to support daily tactical science planning. Consulted for Python programming and open-source best practices for grant proposals and interviews of undergraduate research intern candidates.

Attitude Control Student for JPL Planetary Science Summer School. See PSSS Project page above for more information.

Disaster Prevention, Progress and Response (Floods), AI and domain science. Summer internship.

Planetary Science Ph.D. candidate studying sedimentary deposits on Mars using high resolution remote sensing and topography data. Using stereo imaging and machine learning lead investigation into climate history of Mars through correlation of regional stratigraphy of Arabia Terra.
Developed a novel crater statistics method to constrain depositional hiatus lengths from partially exhumed craters. Created end-to-end scalable and reproducible scientific pipeline with Pangeo stack (Dask & Xarray). Applied innovative statistical geologic modeling to visualize 3D structural geology of deposits utilizing HPC resources. Built reproducible HiRISE stereo photogrammetry pipeline that also support other lab members, saving days of time required for manual approach. Pioneered application of Deep Learning (U-Net CNN) to automate time-intensive geologic mapping of layered deposits on Mars.

Designed new features for GeoMesa (FOSS Geodatabase) including geospatial BlobStore. Implemented new geospatial analytics and OGC web service integrations between GeoMesa and Geoserver backend. Worked with customers onsite with deployment and integration of GeoMesa and web-map visualization tools.

Produced coverage reports and Maps of Titan by the Cassini CIRS instrument for end of mission science planning.
