About

Hi, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, advised by Prof. Bing Zhang.

My research focuses on how single-star and binary evolution produce compact objects and shape their observable signatures. I use detailed stellar-evolution calculations and binary population-synthesis simulations to connect models of neutron stars, magnetars, and black holes with gravitational-wave sources and electromagnetic transients.
