Austin Blevins

Welcome to my site! My name is Austin Blevins, and I am a PhD candidate at Purdue University who is interested in learning about how the early Solar System worked using a combination of numerical modeling and remote sensing. My current research is focused on modeling the origin of samples collected at the Apollo 14-17 landing sites with a Monte Carlo model called CTEM. I am also a developer of the Cratermaker model, which uses spherical geometry and will eventually replace CTEM. Prior to my arrival at Purdue, I graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn with a Bachelor of Science degree in Earth Science, minor in Astronomy, and certificate in Geographic Information Systems. Outside of research, I enjoy football, video games, and looking through my telescope on a clear, starry night.
