Anders Johansen

Anders Johansen is a Professor of Astronomy at Lund Observatory, Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund University, Sweden, and concurrently a Professor of Planetary Sciences and Planet Formation at the GLOBE Institute, University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on planet formation, exoplanets, accretion discs, turbulence, and supercomputing. He obtained his PhD in 2007 from Heidelberg University and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, followed by a postdoc at Leiden Observatory. He became a docent at Lund University in 2013. His work explores topics like pebble accretion, protoplanetary disc dynamics, and planetary system evolution. He leads a research group and contributes to major missions like PLATO. His recent studies address planet formation mechanisms, dust dynamics, and atmospheric processes in planetary systems.

• Education: PhD (2007), Postdoc (2007–2009), Docent (2013)

Research interests include simulating planetesimal formation via the streaming instability, analyzing protoplanetary disc turbulence, and investigating the chemical and dynamical evolution of planetary atmospheres. His articles span topics like pebble accretion thresholds, gas giant formation pathways, and observational signatures of circumplanetary discs. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed in the provided text. He collaborates widely, with over 150 publications, and his work bridges computational astrophysics with observational data.
