Research Interests: I am mainly interested in the researches on optical time-domain astronomy and related technology. In recent years, based on the data of ground-based optical telescopes and space telescopes, we have mainly carried out observations and researches on pulsating variable stars, eclipsing binary stars, variable stars in open clusters, stellar flare and supernovae, etc., and are committed to giving full play to the advantages of telescope cluster to carry out large field of view optical time-domain astronomical survey. In terms of astronomical technology and methods, in recent years, we have mainly engaged in the site-testing for large-scale optical / infrared telescope and the developing key technologies of the optical time-domain astronomy, especially in the data processing technology of ultra large field of view optical time-domain survey. We have carried out the monitoring and researches on the astronomical observing conditions at the Muztagh-Ata site in the Pamir plateau.
