Zhang, Congyao (张从尧)

About Me

I am a postdoc researcher at Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA), working with Dr. Eugene Churazov and Dr. Rashid Sunyaev in the High Energy Astropysics Group. I received my PhD education at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University (KIAA-PKU), supervised by Prof. Qingjuan Yu.

Research Interests

My research interests include large-scale structure, galaxy cluster, and cosmology.
