Welcome
Hello, I'm Korash Assani — an astronomer and educator with a passion for exploring the cosmos. My journey began at the University of Cincinnati, where I began research on protoplanetary disks — the very cradles of planet formation which offer a direct pathway into understanding our solar system's origins. Now, as a PhD student at the University of Virginia, I've continued fostering my expertise in star and planet formation research by leveraging JWST observations to investigate protostellar jets and outflows, key processes that shape young stellar systems. Beyond research, I am dedicated to teaching and mentoring the next generation of scientific thinkers.
