About Me

Hello, I am Shih, Hua-Shan (施驊珊), a PhD candidate specializing in Department of Space Science and Engineering at National Central University, Taiwan. I collaborate with Prof. Wing-Huen Ip from Institute of Astronomy at National Central University to conduct research on planetary particle dynamics. My current focus involves developing computational models to describe gas distributions through solving motion equations. My most recent works delve into the dust evolution in Saturnian and Uranian ring systems and the atmospheric modeling of Mars.

I had being guided by Prof. Ip since my undergraduate years, where I explored the nucleus modeling of Comet ISON 2012 and the ejecta from impact craters on asteroid Vesta. During my Master’s, I leveraged data returned by the New Horizons mission to construct long-term atmospheric models for Pluto.
