I was born in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, northeast of China, the hometown of the red-crowned crane and several Chinese astronauts (six of them have been to the space, two are from Qiqihar! ).  It seems that both of the crane and the astronauts like to fly, the latter fly much higher obviously. : ) Not like them, I can only let my thoughts fly. : )) After obtaining my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics at Jilin University I came to Vanderbilt University for my PhD degree. With my advisor Prof. Kelly Holley-Bockelmann I have been doing research on the coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies using N-body simulations.  Some of my projects are listed below. Here are my Curriculum Vitae and Research Statement.
