My research is focused on understanding the formation and evolution of solar system planets and planetary satellites, with an emphasis on the connections between rotational dynamics, orbital dynamics, and interior structure. Seismic constraints on interior structure are only available for the Earth and the Moon. For other planetary bodies, we must look for clues in other observations. The response of planetary bodies to rotational and orbital changes depends on their interior structure and it generates unique shape, gravity, and tectonic patterns. I seek to constrain the interior structure of planetary bodies by comparing observations of these patterns with theoretical model predictions.
