olar System is divided into two distinct regions: the inner and the outer part. The inner solar system is populated by small, rocky planets while the outer solar system's inhabitants primarily consist of the four giant planets.
How did this architecture come about? How did the rocky and giant planets form, on what timescale, and from what materials?
My research focuses on using numerical N-body simulations and isotopic anomalies and chronology from extraterrestrial samples to piece together the dynamical history of the solar system. In this presentation I give an overview of my work, what we know, what we don't know, and briefly mention a pathway for future research.
