ABOUT ME

I am Xiaoyi Ma (马潇依), currently pursuing a Master's degree at the University of Victoria under the guidance of Dr. Ruobing Dong and Dr. Pinghui Huang. My academic journey began at the University of Toronto, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in astronomy and physics in 2021. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research with Dr. Adam Hincks on AGN light curves and Dr. Wei Zhu on microlensing.

​

My research primarily revolves around the formation of exoplanets, specifically focusing on the vortices in protoplanetary disks. I employ both numerical simulations and observational methods in my investigations.
