I am a recognized expert in the field of planetary science, notably in the study of planetary regoliths. My research group combines laboratory measurements of regolith properties and direct observation of regoliths using remote sensing, modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation, and statistical analyses of impact crater populations to investigate important open questions in planetary regolith science. Our goal is to advance the state of knowledge of regolith processes, and to provide new levels of understanding of the ways in which those processes bear on the larger-scale geological evolution of planetary bodies.

我是行星科学领域公认的专家，特别是在行星风化层研究方面。我的研究小组结合实验室测量的风化层属性和直接观察风化层使用遥感，电磁波传播的建模，和撞击坑人口的统计分析，调查重要的行星风化层科学的开放性问题。我们的目标是推进知识的风化过程的状态，并提供新的水平的理解，这些过程对行星体的大规模地质演化的方式。
