Overview

I am originally from China, where I completed my bachelor's in astronomy before moving to the U.S. for graduate studies. I spent several years in New England before coming to the Sunshine State. My primary research interests cover topics in stellar physics, with current project centered on r-process nucleosynthesis and the production of heavy elements. Previously, I worked on asteroseismology of solar-like stars during my undergraduate and 21-cm cosmology for my master's research. Outside of academics, I enjoy golfing, cooking, and pursuing my interests in aviation and railways.
