Astronomy & Astrophysics

Yen-Hsing Lin
Yen-Hsing Lin will pursue his Ph.D. in the Department of Astronomy at UC San Diego. He completed his undergraduate and master's degrees at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), majoring in physics and astronomy. During his undergrad, Yen-Hsing worked with Dr. Hiroyuki Hirashita at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA), focusing on interstellar dust in high-redshift galaxies. In his master's program, he worked with Prof. Hsiang-Yi Karen Yang on numerical simulations of jets from supermassive black holes in galaxy clusters. Yen-Hsing is also actively engaged in public outreach, having co-founded the science communication team "EASY" in 2017, aiming to share the beauty of astronomy with the public through social media and publications. He has also held leadership positions in the amateur astronomy community, including serving as the supervisor of the Astronomy Club Union of Universities in Taiwan (ACUUT). In his Ph.D. studies, Yen-Hsing aims to continue exploring the interplay among the various physical mechanisms in the galactic ecosystem through advanced numerical simulations, contributing to the field of galaxy evolution and beyond.
