My research domain is in (exo)planet science. I am interested in a broad range of topics such as how the solar system and other planetary systems formed and how their various internal bodies are connected in terms of both physics and chemistry. I have also been developing models (e.g. the volatility trend and the ExoInt code ) to characterize the compositional similarities and differences between stars and planets and to constrain the interior composition and structure of exoplanets. My ultimate goal is to understand habitable worlds including and beyond our own and hence advance Earthlings' future on the "Pale Blue Dot" and elsewhere in the Universe.
