Protoplanetary Disks & Planet Formation
Our understanding of protoplanetary disks has been revolutionized by the Atacama Large Millimeter-Array (ALMA). Among its most fascinating discoveries, recent observations have revealed large-scale features such as gaps and rings, spiral patterns and even large concentrations of dust. Understanding the connection between the large-scale disk features that result from the interaction between the forming planets and the disk is crucial not only for inferring the presence of planets but also for unraveling the crucial processes that shape planet formation. A central theme in our research is to understand dynamical processes in dusty protoplanetary disks.
