Wenting Wang

Wenting Wang is a Faculty member in the Department of Physics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research interests include galactic dynamics, the dynamical modeling of the Milky Way and dwarf galaxies, galaxy formation and evolution, large-scale structure, and cosmology. She has contributed to numerous publications in prestigious journals such as ApJ and MNRAS, focusing on topics like dark matter content, stellar mass distributions, and satellite kinematics. Wang has held postdoctoral positions at Kavli IPMU, Tokyo University, and ICC, Durham University, and has been recognized as a National 'Outstanding Young' Scholar since 2020. She is affiliated with the Astronomy Department and is based in Room 528, No. 5 Science Building, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Wenting Wang is a researcher in cosmology and galaxy formation, focusing on the interplay between dark matter halos and galaxy evolution. Their work explores the gas content of dark matter halos, the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, and the dynamics of satellite galaxies. Wang's research includes studies on the mass of the Milky Way, the environmental quenching of galaxies, and the role of dark matter in shaping galaxy structures. They also investigate galaxy-galaxy lensing and the scaling relations between dark halos and their gas properties. Their contributions span both observational and theoretical approaches to understanding galaxy formation and cosmological structure formation.
