Joe Williams

PhD Researcher in Astrophysics

I'm Joe, a PhD researcher at the University of Exeter.

I study the earliest stages of the planet formation process around young stars under the supervision of Dr Sebastiaan Krijt.

My research focuses on how the the growth and migration ice-covered pebbles in protoplanetary discs can be linked to gas-phase observations with telescopes like JWST, ALMA, and NOEMA, and how we can link these observations to planet formation.

I'm a big fan of doing outreach to schools and astronomical societies across the UK, and I write for the blog Astrobites where we summarise academic papers daily.
