Welcome to Yanhui's home page!
I am currently a Ph.D. student studying theoretical/computational astrophysics/cosmology at University of California, Riverside. Learn more about me by going through the website, and feel free to contact me if anything is of your interest!
My research focuses on cosmology and galaxy formation, using supercomputers and advanced numerical techniques to model the Universe's complex evolution. My work spans a wide range of spatial scales—from turbulent mixing layers in the medium surrounding galaxies (~pc) to individual galaxies (~kpc) and the large-scale structure of the Universe (~Mpc). These theoretical predictions are essential for interpreting data from major astronomical surveys, including the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, LSST, CSST, and JWST. By comparing predictions (simulations) with observations, it is promising to identify the models that best describe galaxy formation, evolution, and the growth of cosmic structures from primordial perturbations.
