Dr. Neish is an expert in the use of radar observations to study the geology of planetary surfaces, with a particular emphasis on processes related to impact cratering. She was an Associate Science Team member for the RADAR instrument on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, and is a Co-Investigator for the Mini-RF hybrid-polarimetric radar on board NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. She is also a Co-Investigator on NASA's Dragonfly mission, set to visit Saturn's moon Titan in the mid 2030s.
