Selected Research Highlights
- Discovered PSR J1750-3116A, the first radio pulsar likely associated with the globular cluster Terzan 6, using C-band GBT observations.
- Reported the discovery of 19 new pulsars from FAST archival observations, including long-period and sporadic sources recovered through FFA and single-pulse searches.
- Investigated RRAT J2325-0530 with FAST observations, showing an atypical waiting-time distribution and evidence for complex magnetospheric behavior.
- Studied possible formation channels for mass-gap black holes from neutron-star X-ray binaries under super-Eddington accretion.
Technical Skills
- Radio pulsar searches and polarization data processing
- Binary population synthesis and binary evolution studies with MESA/BSE
