Education

B.S. in Physics, Denison University, Granville, OH, 1991.

Research Interests:

In my work I utilize a combination of analytic theory and numerical modeling to understand the role of collisional and gravitational processes in the formation and evolution of planets and their satellites.

My recent research projects focus on:

• the dynamics of terrestrial planetary accretion and evolution.
• the collisional evolution of planets
• the capture of irregular planetary satellites
• the signatures and consequences of giant planet migration
