Welcome to my page!
Hello! My name is Yuya Fukuhara (福原優弥).
I am a Distinguished Postdoc Fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taipei, Taiwan. I received a doctoral degree in science from the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo; formerly known as the Tokyo Institute of Technology) in 2025.
I'm interested in planet formation, especially in dust evolution and gas dynamics of protoplanetary disks.
Key question:
Are protoplanetary disks turbulent?
How do the disks (turbulence) interact with dust and planets?
Gave a talk in the colloquium at NCU@Taiwan, titled "Interaction between VSI and dust in protoplanetary disks".
Gave a talk in "10th East Asia Numerical Astrophysics Meeting (EANAM10)" at Jeju@South Korea, titled "Hydrodynamical simulations of the vertical shear instability with dynamic dust and cooling rates in protoplanetary disks".
日本惑星科学会2025年秋季講演会(東京大学駒場Iキャンパス 21KOMCEE)に参加し、ポスター発表(タイトル "影から探る原始惑星系円盤の鉛直構造とダスト進化")を行いました。
Gave a talk in "Exoplanets & Planet Formation Workshop 2025" at Kunming@China, titled "Hydrodynamical simulations of the vertical shear instability with dynamic dust and cooling rates in protoplanetary disks".
Paper Accepted!! Fukuhara et al. 2025, "Hydrodynamical simulations of the vertical shear instability with dynamic dust and cooling rates in protoplanetary disks", Astronomy & Astrophysics, arXiv:2507.11156
Moved to Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taipei, Taiwan, as a Distinguished Postdoc Fellow.
Gave a poster in "Pebbles in Planet Formation" at NAOJ@Japan, titled "Hydrodynamical simulations of the vertical shear instability with dynamic dust and cooling rates in protoplanetary disks".
日本惑星科学会2024年秋季講演会(九州大学医学部百年講堂)に参加し、2024年度優秀発表賞(講演題目"原始惑星系円盤の鉛直シア不安定性とダストの共進化:微惑星形成と円盤観測への示唆")を受賞しました。
日本天文学会2024年秋季年会(関西学院大学 神戸三田キャンパス)に参加し、口頭発表(タイトル "影から探る円盤鉛直構造とダスト進化(Ⅱ):測定された冷却時間と整合的なダスト分布・乱流強度の理論的推定")とポスター発表(タイトル "鉛直シア不安定性乱流に対する冷却率の時空間進化の影響")を行いました。
Gave a talk in "Mini-Workshop on PPDs and Planets in Hot Summer Nagoya" at Nagoya@Japan, titled "Vertical shear instability simulations with dynamical cooling rate in protoplanetary disks".
Paper Accepted!! Fukuhara & Okuzumi 2024, "A self-consistent model for dust settling and the vertical shear instability in protoplanetary disks", Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, arXiv: 2404.15780
Gave a talk in "Simulating Physics in Celestial Ecosystems -Star, Disk, and Planet Formation- (SPiCE)" at Sendai@Japan, titled "Vertical shear instability simulations including dynamical dust and cooling rate in protoplanetary disks".
Gave a talk in "The 175th Seminar on The Formation of Stars & Planets", titled "A self-consistent model for dust settling and vertical shear instability in protoplanetary disks".
Stayed at Max-Plank Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg@Germany under the "JSPS Overseas Challenge Program for Young Researchers" program. The host scientist is Dr. Mario Flock.
Participated in "Protostars and Planets Ⅶ (PPⅦ)" at Kyoto@Japan and presented a poster titled "A self-consistent model for dust settling and vertical shear instability in protoplanetary disks".
