    Research directions

    My work connects theoretical modelling with the interpretation of astrophysical observations.

    01

    Gravitational waves

    Long-duration signals from compact objects, with an emphasis on continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars.

    02

    X-ray polarimetry

    Physical interpretation of IXPE observations of Swift J1727.8–1613 and the geometry of black-hole accretion systems.

    03

    Multi-messenger astronomy

    Joint reasoning across gravitational and electromagnetic observations to constrain astrophysical systems.

    A concise introduction

    I am an astrophysics PhD student at Peking University. My long-term interests lie in high-energy astrophysics, especially gravitational waves, compact objects, cosmology, and multi-messenger astronomy.

    I completed my undergraduate studies in physics at Wuhan University, where I worked on continuous gravitational radiation and X-ray polarimetry. Earlier, astronomy olympiad training shaped the way I approach quantitative problems.
