معرفی
Kun Xu is a Research Fellow in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. Their research focuses on Galaxy Formation, Cosmology, and Numerical Simulations, particularly exploring galaxy-halo connections, dark matter halo properties, and large-scale cosmic structures using observational data and simulations.
Education: Kun Xu holds a graduate degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Research Interests
Kun Xu's work investigates how galaxy morphology, environment, and mass influence their evolution within dark matter halos. They analyze datasets like the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey to study satellite galaxies, quenching mechanisms, and gravitational lensing effects. Numerical simulations (e.g., IllustrisTNG) are used to model galaxy-merger dynamics and baryonic feedback processes.
Key Research Trends
Recent articles emphasize galaxy-halo alignment, mass-environment quenching, and cosmic web interactions. Their work bridges observational surveys (e.g., DESI, BOSS) with theoretical models to address fundamental questions about galaxy formation and dark matter distribution.
