About Me

Welcome to my homepage! ‍I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan, and earned my PhD from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in 2023. My research focuses on dynamical modeling of all types of galaxies to determine their underlying mass profiles (including stars, black holes, dark matter) and internal structures. Over the past few years, I have developed novel techniques for the dynamical modeling of barred galaxies and successfully applied them to IFU observations for the first time.

Research

Research interest

Galaxy formation and evolution
Dynamical modeling of barred galaxies
Black holes in compact stellar systems (UCDs, GCs)
Orbital analysis of stellar systems
N-body simulation (barred galaxies, globular star clusters)
Studying stellar kinematics using IFU observations
Dynamics of Galactic Bulge and MW halo



Research Projects:

- Developing methods for chemo-dynamical modeling of barred galaxies.
- Studying the orbital structures in barred galxies using N-body simulations.
- Dynamical modeling of barred galaxies using the MUSE-TIMER IFU survey.
- Measuring the masses of black holes in compact stellar systems within the Virgo cluster using JWST/NIRspec IFU data.
