SUMMARY:Making planets from small grains and big data - Min-Kai Lin

DESCRIPTION:The ubiquity and diversity of the exoplanet population suggest
 s that planet formation is an efficient process. However\, the theoretical
  road from dust to planets is all but rocky. Dust grains immersed in a gas
 eous protoplanetary disk face several challenges in growing into planetesi
 mals and beyond. I will present recent work on dust-gas interaction in pro
 toplanetary disks\, including the effect of hydrodynamic turbulence on dus
 t settling and the streaming instability for planetesimal formation. I wil
 l also discuss how newly formed planets interact with 2D and 3D dusty disk
 s. Finally\, I will showcase a new effort in combining hydrodynamic simula
 tions with artificial intelligence to find hidden planets in observed prot
 oplanetary disks.
