Takanori Sasaki


	Takanori Sasaki is an assistant professor of Department of Astronomy at Kyoto University, Japan. His general research interests are in learning about the origin and evolution of planetary systems. He also interested in the evolution of environment on terrestrial planets in which the evolution of life is made possible. Sasaki did his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in science at The University of Tokyo and decided to pursue the “Planet and Life”-type problem as a planetary scientist. Then he studied the early evolution of terrestrial planets and got a Ph.D. at The University of Tokyo on 2008. He was employed as a Research Fellowship of JSPS (DC1) during the doctoral course, and a Research Fellowship of JPS (PD) as a postdoctoral fellow at Tokyo Institute of Technology. In 2010, he proposed a comprehensive model of the origin of large satellites around Jupiter and Saturn. From 2012–2014 he was an associate professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology engaged in Global COE Program Takanori Sasaki ‘From the Earth to “Earths”’ studying interdisciplinary sciences on habitable planets.
