The following year he went to Brown University to study planetary geology, with a focus on the Moon. Brown University is a highly esteemed private University located in Providence, Rhode Island and is a member of the Ivy League. A year later he earned his Masters Degree and moved back to Arizona where he started working for Ron Greeley who had just joined Arizona State University.

After graduation he went to work for the U.S. Geological Survey. The United States Geological Survey ( USGS) is a scientific agency of the United States government. In the following years he spent in lunar studies and promoting the idea of lunar exploration. He became the principal investigator at the NASA Office of Space Science, Solar System Exploration Division planetary geology program.

He later joined Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston as a staff scientist. The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI is a NASA -funded research institute dedicated to studies of the Solar system, its evolution and formation Eventually he joined the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and became senior staff scientist.

He has served as a member of the Synthesis Group in Washington D.C., a White House committee, in 1991. Washington DC ( formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D See also Executive Office of the President of the United States The White House, formerly known as the Executive Mansion, is the Official residence In 1994 he was the deputy leader of the Clementine mission science team.

At Johns Hopkins he is developing a radar system for a planned Indian mission to the Moon.
