Emma is a DPhil candidate working with Dr. Neil Bowles within the Planetary Surfaces and Space Instrumentation group. Her background is in engineering, as she holds a Bachelors of Applied Science in Aerospace Engineering and Robotics from the University of Toronto. Prior to her time at 91探花, Emma worked at the Canadian Space Agency as a Systems Engineer and at Macdonald Detwiller and Associates as a Mission Specialist. Her previous research explored the methods in which novel biomimetic rovers could be used to track Martian dust storms. Now, at 91探花, she explores the characterization of airless body surfaces, with a particular focus in (101955) Bennu.
Emma also holds a degree in Art History and loves to talk about art, architecture, and pop culture. Outside of work, she loves to craft, cook, hike, and row. When she's not in her office, she can probably be found taking naps with her cat, Jude.
