【DoA Colloquium】June 17th by Lile Wang (PKU)
Description
Title: Why and How Can We Take Care of Protoplanetary Disks
Speaker: Lile Wang (PKU)
Abstract:
Protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are drawing increasing attention as the places where planets are formed. They are also one of the most complicated types astrophysical systems, whose detailed and thorough studies should involve multi-scale multiphysics. Due to the complication, most PPD problems have to be solved numerically. The speaker will briefly overview some critical issues he met and tried to solve in computational studies on PPDs, discussing the advanced computational methods and their applications in PPDs, exoplanet atmospheres, and probably other fields of research.
Bio:
Lile Wang is an assistant professor at KIAA, PKU. He got his B.S. in physics from Tsinghua University in 2012, and PhD in astrophysics from Princeton University in 2018. He then had postdoctoral studies in the Center for Computational Astrophysics of the Flatiron Institute before joining the faculty of the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University in the year 2021. Lile Wang’s research focuses on numerical simulations in astrophysics. He is now mainly interested in developing consistent methods for GPU-accelerated real-time computation methods, which efficiently co-evolve thermochemistry and radiation fields with (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations, in realtime. These methods are applied to various types of astrophysical systems, including protoplanetary disks, exoplanet atmospheres, and galaxy clusters in cosmological simulations.
