About
Andrew Youdin is a Professor in the Department of Astronomy and an Astronomer at Steward Observatory, University of Arizona. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2003.
His research focuses on Theoretical Astrophysics, Planet Formation, Exoplanets (statistics, dynamics, and atmospheres), Accretion Disks, Kuiper Belt objects, and Hydrodynamics and Turbulence. He has made significant contributions to understanding planetesimal formation via mechanisms like the streaming instability, which has transformed modern theories of planetary system formation.
