Whistle Down The Wind

Hi, I’m a graduate student from Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University. Now I’m in the second year of my graduate life. My advisor is Prof. Qiusheng Gu.  You can find my CV here !!

I was born in Tianjin, a metropolis in the north of China. My mom was an engineer and my dad used to be the vice manager of a small joint venture while he’s also a photographer. This family background let me grow up in such a easy atmosphere and I can raise my own interest on anything. When I was 6 year old, the gift that my parents gave me for my birthday–a book about the star night and the universe made me really lost in the beauty of cosmos. Since then I spent a lot of times watch the sky at night and read all the books I can found about astronomy, when I was in the third year of my elementary school, I started the dream of become an astronomer and at that time, I’ve been told the department of astronomy in Nanjing University is the best in China. I was kind of boy didn’t like study, especially, hard-working study. But, bear my dream in mind, I finally got it. Life is wonder, and mine just began!
