I was born in Laisu Town, Yongchuan District, Chongqing. I'm interested in exploring our Universe through astronomical observations. My research uses multi-wavelength observations, particularly in X-rays, radio, and millimeter bands, to study high-energy astrophysical sources and the interstellar medium. I received my PhD from Nanjing University in 2014. I subsequently worked as an Assistant Researcher at Nanjing University and later as a Veni Fellow at the Anton Pannekoek Institute, University of Amsterdam, before returning to Nanjing University in 2021.
I am also actively involved in several major astronomical collaborations. For eXTP, I coordinate Observatory Science and serve as the general coordinator of its science working groups in China. I serve as the X-ray coordinator for the LHAASO collaboration and co-chair of HUBS’s Galactic Science Working Group. In addition, I am a full member of the Einstein Probe science team and participate in IXPE’s supernova remnant science working group.
