Research》 gravitational wave galaxy evolution by Galactic Chemical Evolution model and SED evolution model

My current work focus on mutil-messenger (GW-EM) astrophysics and cosmology [13,29].  With the help of EM data (such as galaxy catalog) and GW-EM theoretical prediction (such GW-GRB relation), I try to improve the gravitational waves signals detection with the LIGO-Virgo  instruments. In particular, I work on a Bayesian  approach to multi-messenger astronomy, with special interest on GW-EM source  sky localization, GW parameter estimation  [8,9]  and EM counterpart properties  [15,24].

I have spent 3 years understanding the EM data during  my Ph.D  phase, in particular galaxy properties by galactic chemical and SED models [ 4,5,6]. Before that,  I spent 3 years  understanding GW research during  my Master degreed phase.

I also work on GW burst sky localization [2],  stochastic  GW background detection [1,3,19,21,32,38, 39] ,  continuous GW detection ([ 10,22]) ,GW echo [28] , EMRIs or IMRIs[20], GW waveform [34].

To help students building their own research, I contribute myself to  the research of  GRB offset [7].

Very recently,  I am  also  interested in the  lensed  GW-EM system and  their applications  on  fundamental questions (e.g. the speed of GW [12] , the wave nature of GW [23 ,27,31] , the  Hubble constant [14,42] cosmic curvature [16, 25], dark matter substructure [25] ) and astrophysics questions (e.g. measuring  the mass of  lens [33,35] ).   You could get an idea of those work in my review [43], except for lensed event rate [40,41]

The machine learning approach [17,18] is on the way of rewriting  all my work………….深深的😱

My review-style talks:

  • Search methods for gravitational waves from an ensemble of known pulsars

Combining information from weak sources, such as known pulsars for gravitational wave detection, is an attractive approach to improve detection efficiency and estimate the hyperparameters of the underlying distribution of population properties. We first propose an optimal statistic for a general ensemble of signals and apply it to an ensemble of known pulsars by combining F-statistics of individual pulsars with different weights to improve the detection efficiency. Then, we use a Bayesian framework to produce a detection statistic for the whole ensemble of sources, and, to estimate the hyperparameters of the underlying distribution of pulsars ellipticities.

  • A Bayesian approach to multi-messenger astronomy

We present a general framework for incorporating astrophysical information into Bayesian parameter estimation techniques used by gravitational wave data analysis to facilitate multi-messenger astronomy. In this talk, we present the Bayesian framework that allows us to reduce the number of host galaxy candidates to be searched, obtain a better estimate of the inclination angle of a compact binary gravitational wave source, probe short gamma-ray burst luminosities and luminosity function.

  • Gravitational Wave Astronomy with High-Frequency Gravitational Waves

The first directly detection of gravitational wave (GW) opens the new era of astronomy: the gravitational wave astronomy.  I will briefly introduce the role of hight-frequency  GW signals  in studies of multi-messenger  joint observations, GW source population, EOS of NS  and cosmology.  I will  present a  Bayesian approach to   multi-messenger astronomy and its applications on GW-host galaxy and GW-short gamma-ray burst.   The strong lensed GW-EM system as an astrophysical  probe, especially on measuring the GW speed and constraining  cosmology parameters, will also be discussed.

  •  The lensed GW-EM system as an astrophysical probe
    The first directly detection of gravitational wave (GW) opens the new era of astronomy: the gravitational wave astronomy. The strongly lensed GWs seen by 3G detectors accompanied by EM signals could also be used to test modified theories of gravity, became a milestone in precision cosmology, applied to studying cosmic curvature and dark matter distributions. I will briefly introduce those applications of lensed GW-EM system as well as the role of microlensing in observing the wave nature of GW.
