Chiang and his collaborators have research interests in theoretical astrophysics, with an emphasis on understanding the origin and evolution of planetary systems, both extrasolar and solar. Current research areas include:

• The Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt
• Extrasolar Debris Disks
• Protoplanetary Disks
• Extrasolar Planetary Dynamics
• Planetary Rings
• Planet and planetesimal formation

Imke de Pater, Professor

De Pater's primary interest is planetary science. Current research areas include:

• Adaptive Optics Imaging on Uranus, Neptune, Titan, Io, and asteroids
• Radio Observations of Jupiter's synchrotron radiation, comets and giant planet atmospheres using VLA and BIMA (and soon: ATA and CARMA)
• Taiwan American Occultation Survey of Kuiper Belt objects (TAOS) and in the outer Solar System (KBO)
• Red Spot, Jr. (a collaborative project with Phil Marcus, UC Berkeley)
