Welcome to my homepage. I am a professor of Astronomy at the Department of Astronomy, Xiamen University. I am interested in the astrophysics of supermassive black holes (e.g., the one you watched in the famous movie Interstellar; or read this nice review for non-expert) in the center of active galaxies. In the meantime, I also enjoy hunting for smaller black holes, namely, the stellar black holes and the intermediate-mass black holes. I use multi-wavelength data (collected by various telescopes spanning the electromagnetic spectrum), high-quality light curves and theoretical models to probe the gravitational environment around black holes. Please check out this website or some of my publications to learn more about my research.
