About

I was born in Jiangsu province, PRC, 1974. In 1995, I received the BS degree in the Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University. Then, I joined Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), CAS.  After obtaining a Ph.D. degree in 2002 from SHAO, I worked in Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute as a postdoctoral fellow (2002 - 2003). In 2010, I visited University of California, Santa Barbara as a visiting scholar (2010 – 2011). Since 2011, I became a research professor in SHAO.

My current research interest is active galactic nuclei, including the formation and evolution of supermassive black holes, central engine, the radiation, structure and evolution, and the multi-wavelength observations, especially the quasar science based on SDSS-IV, and radio VLBI observations.

I have published about 116 papers, mostly on ApJ, MNRAS, AJ, and A&A Journals, with total citation of over 5900 times.
