My group carries out lab-based and space-based microgravity experiments to better understand our solar system. In addition I have an active research program to study Saturn’s rings using data from the Cassini spacecraft. We can use students with interests in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, and computer engineering, and physics. We have data analysis projects that have been worked on by students from a wide variety of majors, not just physics and engineering.
