Research Statement

My research focuses on understanding the physical mechanisms governing supermassive black hole accretion, extreme energetic outflows, and their intimate feedback connections with host galaxy evolution.

By combining multiwavelength observational data—spanning X-ray (eROSITA, Swift, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR), optical/infrared (JWST, VLT/GRAVITY+, SDSS), and millimeter wavelengths (NOEMA)—with advanced numerical modeling, I investigate transient accretion phenomena, changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs), super-Eddington accretion flows, and the structural co-evolution of galaxies from the local Universe to the high-redshift epoch of reionization.

Key Research Areas

High-Energy Astrophysics

Supermassive black holes, accretion disk physics, and tidal disruption events (TDEs).

Galaxy Evolution and Structures

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), feedback mechanisms, and galactic dynamics.

Data Analysis & Machine Learning

Line decomposition, Gaussian process time series analysis, and image structure decomposition.

Current Projects & Focus

Changing-Look AGNs & Accretion Disk Physics

Deciphering the rapid spectral transformations and disk-corona interplay in dynamic systems like 1ES 1927+654 using multi-epoch monitoring.

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) & Super-Eddington Accretion

Constraining relativistic outflows, X-ray variability, and radiation feedback in extreme accretion regimes (e.g. AT2022lri, I Zwicky 1).

Spatially Resolved Kinematics & High-z Quasars

Probing the Broad-Line Region (BLR) kinematics and dynamical black hole masses in high-redshift quasars using interferometry (GRAVITY+) and JWST imaging.

Computational Modeling & Statistical Methods

Developing robust algorithms for Gaussian process light-curve analysis, spectral line decomposition, and machine learning based astronomical structural classification.

Collaborations & Data

I actively collaborate with international survey and instrument teams, including the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), the GRAVITY+ collaboration, and Peking University astrophysics research groups.
