In 2022 he obtained the 51 Pegasi b fellowship in planetary astronomy. He joined Universidad of Concepcion in the Fall of 2024. Leonardo Krapp is interested in planet formation and computational astrophysics. As a computational astrophysicist, Leonardo reproduces the conditions where planets are born using complex dynamical models with the code FARGO3D. His research has extended the capabilities of the powerful code FARGO3D to perform multifluid simulations.
