His research, working with students, in the ERAU SUIT Lab will initially focus on assessing the work envelope during a simulated suborbital spaceflight intravehicular activity using a U-2 pressure suit and a Final Frontier Design Demonstrator Suit. The next phase of work will focus on surface exploration extravehicular activity operations and spacesuit technologies using analogue research locations such as Aquarius Reef Base and the Mars Desert Research Station. Long-term research plans encompass his Ph.D. research on lunar dust abrasion and spacecraft design and operations.
