I am a planetary scientist with a strong focus on small bodies in the solar system, particularly their structure, surface properties, and dynamical behavior. My work combines numerical modeling with observational data to better understand how these objects evolve and interact with their environments. Currently, I am part of the Planetary Data System's Small Bodies Node (PDS-SBN), where I support data archiving efforts to ensure broad public accessibility and long-term scientific value.
