Research Interests
I am an undergraduate from the University of Science and Technology of China, majoring in Space Physics. My internship at IWF focuses on incorporating new theoretical concepts and experimental data on the thermal stability of ice phases in protoplanetary discs into the thermo-chemical disc model ProDiMo. Specifically, I aim to modify the simulation code based on recent advancements in thermal desorption theory and study the impact of this data on icelines and midplane chemistry in discs.
