Piia Maria Tomberg

Piia Maria Tomberg serves as a Guest Researcher at the Centre for Star and Planet Formation within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, focusing on astrophysical processes in planetary system development.

Her research spans Planetary Science, Astrophysics, and Astronomy, with specialized expertise in Star Formation and Planet Formation mechanisms. Current investigations examine atmospheric evolution of rocky exoplanets through pebble accretion dynamics and gas envelope interactions.

Her 2024 publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics establishes foundational work on outgassed atmospheres of pebble-accretion-formed planets, revealing critical links between formation pathways and atmospheric retention in exoplanetary systems.

She operates within the Centre for Star and Planet Formation, an interdisciplinary research unit analyzing cosmic dust aggregation, protoplanetary disk chemistry, and early planetary system evolution through computational modeling and observational data synthesis.
