I grew up in Shanghai, China. I got my B.S. in Physics from Fudan University in 2000, and Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University in 2006. I was a TAC postdoctoral fellow in UC Berkeley from 2006 to 2009, and a TCC postdoctoral fellow of Texas Cosmology Center (UT Austin) from 2009 to 2012. I joined the faculty of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2012.

Research Interests:

I am interested in the formation of the large scale structure in our Universe, and the underlying physical rules. Theoretically, my research focuses on understanding the properties of dark matter, dark energy, cosmic microwave background, galaxies, clusters, cosmic reionization, etc.. Observationally, we use the gravitational lensing effect to directly probe the density distribution of our Universe, and to test the theory of gravity on the cosmic scales.
