I am a physics graduate, passionate about exploring planetary formation and their surface processes through numerical modeling and data analysis, integrating remote sensing and in-situ data. Currently, I am working on shock physics hydrocode numerical models to study the formation of impact craters and processes on lunar south polar regions.
