About

Man Hoi Lee is a leading figure in exoplanetary dynamics, renowned for his work on planet formation, orbital resonances, and the evolution of multiplanet systems. His research centers on the gravitational interactions that shape planetary architectures, particularly the role of mean-motion resonances in sculpting warm Jupiter and sub-Neptune populations. A key contribution is his leadership in the discovery and characterization of TOI-2202 b and c, a pair of warm giant planets near the 2:1 mean motion resonance around a K-dwarf star, identified through TESS data and follow-up observations. This work, which has garnered over 30 citations, exemplifies his ability to combine transit photometry with dynamical modeling to reveal resonant configurations that offer clues to planetary migration histories. Lee’s broader impact is reflected in his highly cited studies on tidal evolution, orbital stability, and the formation of close-in planets, which have shaped our understanding of how planetary systems evolve over gigayear timescales. His contributions continue to influence both observational surveys and theoretical frameworks in exoplanetary science.
