I am a postdoctoral researcher at USTC. I use a mix of data analysis, theoretical modeling and simulations to understand the physical processes driving the formation and evolution of galaxies.
Always happy to connect and collaborate on exciting science 🔭🪐🌌
Our research on dwarf galaxies was published in Nature under the title Unexpected clustering pattern in dwarf galaxies challenges formation models. These team photos were taken by the Publicity Department of USTC to commemorate this important milestone 🥳.
