Ke Wang observes high-mass star formation at high-resolution. He is an expert in submillimeter interferometry and has served in the European ALMA Regional Center and the SMA operations team for more than five years. His research characterizes the initial conditions of high-mass star formation throughout the Galaxy by observing various samples of molecular clouds in different Galactic environments. Observations at multiple scales are made using submm/mm/cm interferometers including ALMA, JVLA, SMA, ATCA, and MeerKAT, and space- and ground-based single-dish telescopes including Herschel, FAST 500m, GBT 100m, Effelsberg 100m, TMRT 65m, Nobeyama 45m, Yebes 40m, IRAM 30m, JCMT 15m, PMO 14m, APEX 12m, CSO 10m, and SMT 10m.
