Nathan Kaib is an Associate Professor in the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on planetary system formation and evolution, including solar system dynamics, exoplanetary systems, and the impact of binary stars on planetary stability.
Education: B.S. from Case Western Reserve University (2002), Ph.D. from University of Washington (2010).
Research interests include giant planet orbital evolution, Kuiper belt architecture, Oort cloud comet injection, and exoplanet dynamics in binary star systems. His work emphasizes long-term planetary system stability and the effects of distant stellar companions.
Featured publications address comet fading mechanisms, trans-Neptunian object observations, and Mars growth influenced by giant planet instabilities.
Awards: James and JoAnn Holden Faculty Award (2022), C.B. Hudson/Torchmark Presidential Professorship (2021), NSF CAREER Award (2018), and an asteroid (10275) named in his honor (2017).
