Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichiel Min is a senior scientist and professional astronomer with 14 years of experience leading exoplanet atmosphere research and studies of cosmic dust, young stars, and the earliest stages of planet formation. Based at SRON in the Randstad, he heads the institute’s exoplanet program, translating complex observations into models of planetary atmospheres and disk evolution. His background spans hands-on laboratory and theoretical work on optical properties of circumstellar and cometary grains through a PhD at the University of Amsterdam to numerical radiative-transfer studies in protoplanetary disks. Michiel’s career combines long-term academic grants and postdoctoral research with program-level leadership, reflecting both deep domain expertise and the ability to steer multidisciplinary teams and missions. An understated strength is his continuity across the full planet-formation timeline—from grain optics to young-star environments to exoplanet atmospheres—giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on how planets emerge and evolve.
