Gregory Herczeg joined the Kavli Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) at Peking University in 2011 as a Youth Qianren Professor. His fields of research include the evolution of protostars and pre-main sequence stars, the physics and chemistry of circumstellar disks, and the formation of planets as a product of disk evolution. He has co-authored 150 publications in refereed journals.
Dr. Veerle Sterken worked in 2007 on the Darwin mission in a joint venture between ESA, TU Delft and Thales Alenia Space (France) before she started her Ph.D. project at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in 2009. There, she studied the motion of interstellar dust in the solar system and was involved in the Stardust mission. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from the TU Braunschweig in August 2012 while working at the MPIK. She first continued her work as a postdoctoral researcher in the same research group, then moved to Bern, Switzerland in 2014 for a postdoctoral fellowship at the International Space Science Institute. She focused on the interpretation of Ulysses interstellar dust measurements using computer simulations, and on laboratory calibrations for the Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyser. Dr. Sterken presently works at the Astronomical Institute at the University of Bern. She is the author or co-author of 26 refereed publications.Since 1991, Helmut Lammer has been a Scientist, and more recently Group Leader, at the Space Research Institute (IWF), Austrian Academy of Sciences (OAW), Graz, Austria. His research interests cover planetary aeronomy and comparative planetology, the formation and escape processes of exospheres, the evolution of atmospheres and the habitability of planets and moons. He has participated in many space projects in Russia, Europe and the United States, as well as in several key collaborative research projects in Austria. He was a member of several advisory bodies, including the Solar System Exploration Working Group (SSEWG) of ESA. He is the author or co-author of over 260 publications in international refereed journals and of four scientific books.Willy Benz has occupied a broad diversity of professor positions at Harvard, Tucson, Geneva and finally Bern. He was the director of the Physikalisches Institute of the University of Bern and is currently the director of the National Center for Competence in Research PlanetS of Switzerland. His scientific works focus on the theory of planet formation, which he approaches in part by developing numerical models of the accretion and migration of planets within circumstellar disks. He is the Principal Investigator of the Swiss-ESA CHEOPS mission, was the chairman of the SSAC of ESA, and is a member of many space science advisory bodies in different countries. He is the author of 455 publications and is very active in Public Outreach, with over 50 public lectures over the last 50 years.Stephane Udry is a Full Professor at the department of astronomy of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. He is currently the director of this department and the co-director of the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research PlanetS. His research interests cover the search for extrasolar planets and substellar companions by a diversity of methods, the statistical study of the orbital parameters of exoplanetary systems and of their dynamics, and the study of spectroscopic binary stars. He had and still has important responsibilities in the scientific leadership of several important space-based and ground-based exoplanet observation projects, and is a member of several high level committees, including the chairs of the “Astronomy and Fundamental Physics” panel of the ESSC (European Space Science Committee) and of the Swiss Commission for Astronomy. He is the author of 440 highly-cited publications in peer-reviewed journals and of over 55 public conferences in the last 10 years. He is also heaviIl sito utilizza cookie ed altri strumenti di tracciamento che raccolgono informazioni dal dispositivo dell’utente.
