Hello! My name is Margaret!
I am currently a PhD student at Purdue University working with Dr. Briony Horgan, and a student collaborator for the Mastcam-Z instrument on NASA’s Mars 2020 rover! I’m interested in analyzing and understanding planetary climate history, composition, and surface processes using remote sensing and geologic mapping techniques. I am a recipient of NASA’s 2025 Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) award in Planetary Science and Zonta International’s 2024 Amelia Earhart Fellowship. For more information on my research projects on Venus and Mars, please check out my research page!
