Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Lichtenberg is an Assistant Professor of Planetary Physics at the University of Groningen with 11 years of research experience probing the formation and evolution of rocky planets and exoplanets. He leads the Forming Worlds group, combining planetary geophysics, thermal evolution modelling, isotope enrichment and volatile retention to connect planet formation processes to observable outcomes. Trained at ETH Zürich (Dr. sc.) and seasoned by postdoctoral fellowships at Oxford and competitive fellowships, he brings a strong blend of quantitative modelling and lab-to-theory synthesis. His background includes software development for space missions and teaching computational science, reflecting a rare mix of hands-on coding, pedagogy and high-level theory. Fluent in cross-cultural research from time spent in China and Europe, he pursues questions that tie planetary interiors to habitability in ways that inform exoplanet observations.
