Description
Abstract

With the rapid rise in the number of exoplanets, there is a lot to be learned regarding how these diverse planetary systems formed and evolved. Modeling for different stages of planet formation requires different physical and computational schemes, and a realistic model often relies on a wealth of empirical and theoretical background, which is difficult for individual researchers. Fortunately, with open source tools and existing theoretical building blocks, one can construct easy-to-implement models in a limited time to study a specific physical process in planet formation. In these implementation processes, key science concepts can be learned and valuable output can be obtained. In this seminar, I will introduce my previous projects that are working on issues that interest me, and I hope to provide some useful information for people who are exploring related science.

Biography

Sheng Jin is an associate research professor at Purple Mountain Observatory. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014. His previous research has focused on the atmospheric escape of exoplanets and the modeling and fitting of protoplanetary disks. Currently he is trying to use statistical methods to investigate topics in exoplanet science.
