Ruobing Dong's long-term vision is to understand the birth of “All the Worlds” — planetary systems in our universe. To do so, he employs a tripod of approaches. In observations, his group uses some of the most advanced ground-based and space telescopes in the world, including JWST, ALMA, Subaru, etc., to observe circumstellar disks and to capture the telltale signs of planet formation in them. In theoretical work, his group carries out state-of-the-art numerical simulations on supercomputers to model the physical processes in disks. Finally, his group also explores novel techniques in Artificial Intelligence to assist the interpretation of observations and to accelerate numerical simulations.
