Giulia Perotti

Giulia Perotti is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Astrophysics and Planetary Research group within the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on planetary formation processes, particularly examining dust processing in planet-forming regions and the structure of protoplanetary discs.

Her research interests include:

• Astrophysics of planet formation
• Dust disc structures and evolution
• Observational astronomy using JWST
• Water and volatile distribution in protoplanetary systems
• Exoplanetary system formation

Dr. Perotti's recent work demonstrates expertise in analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope and studying the PDS 70 system, which hosts directly imaged protoplanets. Her publications show a consistent focus on understanding the physical and chemical processes in planet-forming environments.

Her scientific contributions include multiple publications in Astronomy & Astrophysics and other leading astrophysics journals, with several papers published in 2025 examining dust processing, volatile delivery mechanisms, and water reservoirs in planet-forming discs.

She collaborates with leading researchers in the field including Ewine van Dishoeck and Thomas Henning as part of international research teams and projects such as the JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS) program and the MINDS (MIRI Medium Deep Survey) project.
