Research

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Diana Powell's group. My research focuses on the theories and modeling of planet formation. In particular, I lead the development of a new model that couples DustPy, a dust and gas evolution code for protoplanetary disks, with SyMBAp, a parallelized version of the symplectic N-body code SyMBA. Feel free to visit my personal site linked on this page for further details about my latest research.
