Hi! Welcome to the personal website of Apostolos Zormpas.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Astrophysics.
About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University Observatory of the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich in the group of Prof. Dr. Til Birnstiel. I graduated in 2018 with a master's degree in physics from the LMU where I finished my Master's Thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. Barbara Ercolano. My main research focus is on disk population synthesis and planet formation by pebble accretion. I am also part of the Research Unit 'Planet Formation Witnesses and Probes: Transition Disks' (FOR 2634/1) recently established by the German Research Foundation.
Research
My reasearch is focused in Disk Population Synthesis. Together with Til Birnstiel and Giovanni Rosotti, we perform 100.000 models of gas and dust disk evolution with and without planets and we recreate observational results. Our work will be published soon.
