- N-body Simulation of Late Stages of Planet Formation
- Studying collisions between bodies in the protoplanetary disk, leading to the formation of rocky planets
- Simulating different collision outcomes including fragmentation, partial erosion, and partial accretion
- Investigating possible planet composition and structure as a result of giant impacts in the disk, especially in the context of high-density planets (Exo-Mercuries)
- Small Planets Demographics
- Making a comprehensive list of highly dense and Iron-rich planets by comparing them to models of rocky Earth-like planets (e.g. ExoPlex) with various core-mass fractions and compositions
- Using archival data and exoplanet fitting tools such as EXOFASTv2 to obtain best mass and radius measurements
