Takahiro Ueda, Ph.D.

About Me

I'm Takahiro Ueda, a JSPS Overseas Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. My research focuses on how small dust grains grow into planets within protoplanetary disks, combining theoretical simulations with observational data. I obtained Ph.D. at Tokyo Institute of Technology on March 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Shigeru Ida and Prof. Satoshi Okuzumi. Following my doctoral studies, I spent three years at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, followed by two years at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. My particular passion lies in understanding the formation mechanisms of terrestrial planets.
