Assistant Professor Kataoka, Akimasa
Research Field
- Planet formation theory and observation
Brief Introduction of Research
- I'm working on planet formation. We use any techniques to reveal the planet formation processes, including numerical simulation of dust aggregation, radiative transfer calculation, and ALMA polarization observations.
