About me
Since September 2018, I am an Assistant Professor in the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University, Beijing China, leading a research group on topics related to gravitational astrophysics.
After I obtained a doctor degree on Theoretical Physics from Peking University in 2015, I spent two years as a Junior Scientist in the group Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, Germany. Then I spent one year as a Scientific Staff in the group Fundamental Physics in Radio Astronomy, Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany.
