In this talk, we aim to provide a comprehensive coverage to the scientific potential with the TianQin observatory,
concentrating on the astrophysical perspective. We will discuss TianQin's expected detection ability on sources ranging from massive black hole binary mergers, extreme mass ratio inspirals, Galactic binary white dwarves, stellar mass binary compact objects inspirals, as well as stochastic gravitational wave background. The proposed TianQin gravitational wave observatory is aiming to detect gravitational wave signals in the millihertz frequency band, through the method of space-borne laser interferometry.
Education:
2011–2015 Ph.D. in Physics and Astronomy, The University of Glasgow, UK.
2007–2011 Bachelor of Science in Astronomy, Nanjing University, China.
Work experience:
2017–Present Associate Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy, Sun Yat-sen University, China
2015–2017 Postdoc, Research Institute of Information Technology, Tsinghua University, China.
2015–2016 Junior Scientist/Postdoc, The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Germany
Research interests:
TianQin: My primary research interest is to explore the astronomy and fundemental physics that could be achieved through the construction of TianQin, a proposed space-based gravitational wave detector. My current affiliation is TianQin research center for gravitational physics.
GW Astronomy: As an astronomer deep down, I’m studying all possible gravitational wave sources for space-based GW missions, ranging from Galactic compact binaries, stellar mass compact binary inspirals, extreme mass-ratio inspirals, massive black hole binary mergers, as well as stochastic gravitational wave background.
Data Analysis: I’m a Bayesinism, and my previous experience in LIGO equipped me with knowledge to perform GW data analysis related to space-based GW missions. I plan to construct data analysis pipelines for all sorts of potential sources to TianQin, to detect signals out of noise, and to measure parameters upon detected events.
