Xinyu Dai

Xinyu Dai is a Professor in the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Oklahoma. He holds a B.S. from Beijing University (1998) and a Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University (2004). His research focuses on gravitational lensing, galaxy clusters, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). He explores quasar microlensing to map accretion disk structures, studies galaxy clusters for cosmological insights, and investigates AGN feedback mechanisms. His work also includes population studies of GRBs and the Swift soft X-ray cluster survey. His office is NH 235, and he can be reached at xdai@ou.edu.
