I am a PhD student interested in small primitive objects of the Solar System, their formation and evolution.

Current position: PhD student

Projects:

My current project in collaboration with Bin Yang and Jian-Yang Li consists of quantitatively characterizing ejecta curtain of Dimorphos after the DART impact. The objectives are to provide a list of features, their brightness, mass, projected speeds, and mass-velocity relationship of dust in the cone, in the hopes to combine these results with LICIACube analysis to reconstruct the 3D structure of the cone.
