Research Interests: I am mainly interested inthe researches onoptical time-domain astronomy andrelated technology. In recent years, based on the data of ground-based optical telescopes and space telescopes, we have mainly carried out observations andresearches on pulsating variable stars, eclipsing binary stars, variable starsinopen 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 oftheoptical time-domain astronomy,especially inthe data processing technology of ultra large field of view optical time-domain survey.We have carried out the monitoring andresearches on the astronomical observing conditionsat theMuztagh-Ata site in the Pamir plateau.
