I am an Early Career Researcher in astrophysics at University of Oxford. Before this I was an SKA postdoctoral fellow at University of the Western Cape. I received my PhD at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2020.
My research interests lie primarily in utilising/building radio instruments and developing data analysis tools to extract astrophysical and cosmological information (e.g. study the cosmic neutral hydrogen evolution with MeerKAT & FAST radio telescopes, and the origins of the Fast Radio Bursts in the nearby dwarf galaxies).
Over the past few years, I have developed a few “Bayesian stacking” techniques to measure the neutral hydrogen (HI) mass function, Tully-Fisher relation and HI scaling relations for galaxies below the detection threshold of the radio survey, supplemented with multi-wavelength spectroscopic measurements. These techniques allow us to reach far lower-HI systems and the higher-z Universe than it is possible from direct detections. I have been involved with the MIGHTEE and LADUMA surveys which are two of eight large survey projects approved for observation with the MeerKAT telescope.
I’m also leading projects of studying the intergalactic (IGM) and circumgalactic (CGM) mediums that trace the matter flow from large-scale structures to galaxies with the world's largest single-dish radio telescope-FAST in combination with the high-resolution MeerKAT, and monitoring the nearby dwarf galaxies to catch repeating FRBs.
