I investigate black holes through time-domain observations of nuclear transients.
ChinaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Astrophysics at the University of Science and Technology of China, investigating black-hole formation, accretion, and evolution through time-domain observations.
I've led first-author studies of tidal disruption events, including a featureless TDE at z ∼ 1 discovered with the Wide Field Survey Telescope, Ansky’s ultraviolet spectral evolution and quasiperiodic eruptions, and AT 2023clx, the faintest and closest optical TDE discovered in nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 3799.
I combine wide-field surveys, multi-wavelength follow-up, spectroscopy, long-term monitoring, and population-level analysis. As PI, I've been awarded Swift UVOT/XRT and Gemini observing time, with additional collaborative observing experience across HST, VLA, MMT, P200, LCOGT, and Lijiang 2.4m Telescope.
