I worked as an IAC fellow at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias in Tenerife of Spain from 2013 to 2016. I did my PhD in astrophysics and worked as a researcher at the Centre for Astrophysics Research of the University of Hertfordshire from 2008 to 2013. I did my MSc in astrophysics at the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2005 to 2008. I obtained a BSc in applied physics at the Yantai University.
