Planet Formation Group

Welcome to the Planet Formation Group in the School of Physics at the University of Bristol. The group focuses on the formation and evolution of planets and small bodies, such as asteroids and comets through the use of numerical simulations.  For more detailed descriptions of our ongoing projects please see the group's research page. Within the School of Physics our group is part of the Astrophysics Group. We also work closely with the Geophysics Group in the School of Earth Sciences.

If you are interesting in joining the group as a summer student, postgrad, or postdoc please contact Dr. Leinhardt via email.
