I'm Yangyang Li (李扬洋),
a senior undergraduate from the Astronomy Department of
University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
Since the summer of 2016,
I had been working with Prof. Tinggui Wang,
to study Quasar and AGN,
during which I found scientific research itself charming.
Later on, during the summer of 2017 in USA,
I worked with Researcher Ji Wang
and Prof. Dimitri Mawet
in Caltech to search planets in binary stars.
Inspired by Tatooine in the Star Wars, a planet orbiting around a pair of stars, we conducted a survey to search planets in binary star and successfully validate a candidates in K2 detect field. Most recently works will be sumbited to ApJ. More unknown things remain to be explored!

Quasar is is an active galactic nucleus of very high luminosity. which is thought as the center of supermassive black hole surrounded by accretion disk and dusty torus. My work is intended to combine images from WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) with photometry from SDSS DR7 and DR12 to conduct full investigation of covering factor of quasar with less bias.

Direct imaging is a method to find big planets with face-on orbits in those planetary system close to the Earth. Computer vision is new powerful statistical technique to perceive slight change in signal. Combine these two magic will broad our horizon towards more exotic world.
