Biography
ASTRONOMY AT AUP
At AUP, I am interested in working with students on various topics of astronomy, big data and Machine Learning. I have supervised students working on senior projects, directed studies, capstones on these topics. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you are interested in them, especially in astronomy. Directed study can be used to replace upper-level courses which are required for majors. I am teaching a few courses related to astronomy:
Science of the Universe (SC1099) (4 credits)
Astronomy (SC1030) with lab (4 credits)
Directed Study in Science (SC3900) (1 to 4 credits)
Directed Study in Radio Astronomy
Directed Study in Star Formation
Directed Study in Exoplanet
Directed Study in Optical Astronomy
Directed Study in Computer Science (CS3900) (1 to 4 credits)
Directed Study in Image Processing
Directed Study in Data Analysis
Directed Study in Machine Algorithm
Astrophysical Data Science (still under developed)
PRACTICUM: Observational Astronomy - 2 weeks observation at a telescope (still under developed)
If interested, students will also have the opportunity to work with telescopes remotely that I am using. Besides me, there are other astronomers who taught/are teaching at AUP as well:
Michael Mattern (star formation research at CEA Paris-Saclay)
Flavien Kiefer (exoplanet research at Observatoire de Paris)
At AUP, there is also AUP Astronomy Club, please join them here. https://aup.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/astronomyclub
MY BACKGROUND
I study the physics and chemistry of star formation, both the environment around the star nursery and the detailed structures of the young stars. I collect data from large telescopes and interferometers and apply data science methodology to probe the structure, astrochemistry, magnetic field, colliding clouds and low-velocity shocks of gas around star forming regions. I am also interested in understanding how astronomy has contributed to human development and how to use hands-on data science methodology to advance the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math subjects.
Prior to AUP, I was a lecturer at McMaster University, an EACOA Fellow at the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), and a CITA postdoc Fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA).
