Research Interests
Aigen Li's main research interests are the theoretical studies of the interstellar medium (with a focus on interstellar grains), the formation and evolution of stars and planetary systems (with a focus on protoplanetary dust disks around young stars, debris disks around main sequence stars, and dust envelopes around evolved stars), comets, and the infrared emission properties of galaxies.
