Published contributions in the fields of theoretical and experimental biophysics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics.
First to demonstrate the theoretical limits to long-term survival of genetic material sequestered in minerals/rock subject to radiation damage.
First to develop understanding of the mechanics of the aerial maneuvers of spinner dolphins and the death roll of alligators.
Investigating the long-term survival of genetic material trapped in meteoroids on interstellar trajectories.
Co-designed and implemented current ABI configuration.
