معرفی
Andre Izidoro is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Rice University. His research focuses on planetary dynamics, solar system formation, and exoplanetary systems. He investigates topics such as terrestrial planet accretion, giant planet instabilities, and the evolution of asteroid belts. His work integrates numerical simulations with observational data to understand planetary system architectures and formation mechanisms.
Key research interests include the role of dynamical instabilities in shaping planetary systems, the accretion processes of giant planets like Uranus and Neptune, and the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. He also explores the delivery of volatiles to terrestrial planets and the effects of planetary migration on system evolution.
His publications highlight contributions to understanding the asteroid belt's primordial mass, the implications of Jupiter's migration for inner solar system dynamics, and the formation mechanisms of planetary systems via pebble accretion and resonant chain disruption. Recent work addresses exoplanet radius valley formation, wide-orbit planet origins, and the survival of planetary satellite systems under dynamical perturbations.
Dr. Izidoro's research has been published in leading astrophysics journals and presented at international conferences. His work is supported by computational modeling and collaboration with observational astronomers.
