Congratulations to Haoxuan Sun, who successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Unraveling Planetary Formation and Evolution: A Triple Silicon Isotope Approach”. His groundbreaking research has provided new insights into how planets form and evolve by studying the isotopic composition of silicon. Dr. Sun’s work contributes significantly to understanding the processes that shape planetary bodies in our solar system through high-precision isotopic analysis.
Following his PhD defense, Dr. Sun will embark on the next phase of his academic career as a postdoctoral fellow at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. This prestigious fellowship will allow him to continue his research on planetary formation processes, collaborating with leading scientists in the field of astrophysics and geochemistry.
Haoxuan Sun’s journey exemplifies academic excellence and innovative research in cosmochemistry and planetary sciences. His work on silicon isotopes is poised to advance our understanding of planetary origins and evolution, opening new pathways for scientific discovery.
