个人介绍

Dr. Ping Zhou is interested in high-energy astrophysics, interstellar medium, and (pre-)historical transients. Her research invokes multi-wavelength observations from the largest observing facilities on the Earth and in space. She obtained her PhD at Nanjing University in 2014 and then worked as an assistant researcher for two years.  During 2016 and 2020, she was a Veni fellow and then a postdoc fellow at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
