My name is Miché (like papier-mâché). I am a Planetary Science Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University researching sulfates within Martian craters using remote spectroscopy. I have 10+ years of experience developing advanced imaging algorithms, atmospheric/path correction workflows, and multi-sensor data fusion systems for planetary, terrestrial, and defense applications. My work integrates orbital datasets, laboratory spectroscopy, and physics-based modeling to deliver actionable insights for mission planning and decision support.

Currently completing my PhD at Johns Hopkins University, I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (from systems engineers to mission planners) to translate complex technical requirements into operational solutions.
