My research interests mainly include quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs), supermassive black holes and their accretion physics. Recently we have discovered many new quasars at intemediate and high redshift using optical telescopes in China and the US, including LAMOST and MMT. With optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, we are carrying out detailed studies of the black hole masses and accretion rates of many quasars and AGNs.
我的研究兴趣主要包括类星体与活动星系核、超大质量黑洞以及它们的吸积物理。最近我们利用国内外光学望远镜（包括LAMOST和MMT）发现了许多中等红移和高红移的类星体。利用光学和近红外光谱观测，我们对很多类星体与活动星系核的中心黑洞质量和吸积率进行了细致的研究。
