Jiaqing Bi

Jiaqing Bi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, focusing on planet formation in circumstellar disks. He earned his Ph.D. in 2023 from the University of Victoria, Canada, under Dr. Ruobing Dong, and held postdoctoral positions at ASIAA (Taipei) and the University of Toronto.

• Current Affiliation: Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
• Department: Planet and Star Formation
• Previous Positions: ASIAA, University of Toronto

His research integrates theoretical modeling (using 3D grid-based hydrodynamic codes like FARGO3D and self-developed GPU tools) with observational analysis of submillimeter data from ALMA, aiming to understand dust dynamics and grain evolution in protoplanetary disks. Key contributions include studies on planet-disk interactions, gap formation, and circumtriple disk structures.

Scientific trends in his work include planet formation mechanisms, dust ring morphology, and multi-star system dynamics, combining simulations and interferometry. He actively develops computational tools like cuDust, a CUDA-based code for dust dynamics, and collaborates on projects involving disk evolution and planetary migration.
