Ying Zu

Ying Zu is a Faculty member in the Department of Astronomy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research interests include cosmological large-scale structure, the accelerated expansion of the universe and dark energy, galaxy formation and evolution, galaxy cluster dynamics, and weak gravitational lensing. She is actively involved in major international galaxy survey projects such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), and the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST). She teaches courses such as AST1601 Modern Astronomy and ASTR8104 Quantitative Estimation in Astrophysics. She is also seeking undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers interested in her research areas.

Ying Zu is a researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University with expertise in Cosmology, Astrophysics, Galaxy Clusters, Weak Gravitational Lensing, and Active Galactic Nuclei. Their work focuses on understanding the dynamics of active galactic nuclei through reverberation mapping and optical variability studies. Zu has contributed to major projects such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project, which aim to explore the structure of accretion disks and the properties of quasars. Their research also includes galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering to investigate cosmological constraints and dark matter distribution.
