Specializations and Research Interests
- Continued study of the dynamics of the Jovian system
- Numerical modeling of the coupled Saturn-Titan system with application to mission planning for the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn
- Continued study of comets, including the effects of strong neutral jets on the topology of cometary environments
