Biography
Dr. Shanghuo Li obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) in 2020. He then workes as a postdoctoral fellow at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and later as a PSF fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA). He also worked as a CfA pre-doctoral fellow at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) during his Ph.D studies. He joined the facutly of Nanjing University in 2025.
