Biography
I am Qiaoya, a second-year astronomy graduate student in Prof. Yue Shen's research group. I received my Bachelor's degree in Astronomy from Xiamen University in 2021. My research interest is multi-wavelength studies of quasars and black hole binaries, as well as the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. My recent work focuses on establishing the framework of spectral analysis of massive spectroscopic data sets such as SDSS and carrying out additional science analyses to utilize these derived spectral properties to explore quasar physics and phenomenology.
