Curriculum Vitae

1. About Me:

I grew up in Anhui Province, eastern China. From 2010 to 2014, I pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Engineering at Hainan University, located on Hainan Island, the second-largest island in southern China. I then moved to northwestern China to study astronomy at the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I obtained my Master’s degree in June 2017.
In November 2017, I began my PhD studies in Physics (Astrophysics) at Bielefeld University in Germany, completing my degree in October 2021. My primary research focused on high-precision pulsar timing and gravitational wave detection.
Following my PhD, I continued my academic journey in Germany as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ruhr University Bochum. During this period, I was heavily involved in the upgrade and development of the European Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope, through which I accumulated extensive hands-on experience in low-frequency array technologies. In January 2026, I returned to the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I now lead the planning and construction of the low-frequency telescope in Qitai, Xinjiang.
