Who am I

You are visiting the homepage of Prof. Carsten Dominik, currently UHD (Universitair Hoofddocent) at the Sterrenkundig Instituut Anton Pannekoek and special professor for exoplanets at the astronomy department of the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen The institute is part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Amsterdam.

Research Interests

My Research Interests focus on the the formation of planetary systems. Just like our own planetary systems, there is a large number of stars in the Milky Way that possess planetary systems. Latest estimates find that there should be at least as many planets as stars. We investigate how such planets form, by studying the disks around young stars in which planets form. We do this using numerical simulations as well as observations taken with the most modern telescopes in the world.
