معرفی
Yicheng Guo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Missouri, Columbia. His research focuses on observational extragalactic astronomy, particularly the formation and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. He utilizes data from the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope to study low-mass galaxies, UV-bright star-forming clumps, and the interplay between baryonic matter and dark matter.
- Education:
- Ph.D. in Astronomy, University of Massachusetts Amherst (2012)
- M.S. in Astronomy, University of Massachusetts Amherst (2007)
- B.S. in Astrophysics, University of Science and Technology of China (2001)
Guo’s research highlights include analyzing giant UV-bright clumps in distant galaxies, which are critical for understanding galactic structure formation and star formation feedback. His work on low-mass galaxies explores their role in the dark matter halo–galaxy connection and provides insights into the early Milky Way. He has participated in major surveys like CANDELS, UVCANDELS, and HALO7D, and led NASA-funded projects to investigate star formation timescales and resolved stellar populations.
His publications (over 106 as of 2023) emphasize multi-wavelength observations, star-formation quenching, and galaxy morphology. He has taught courses including Introduction to Astronomy, Astrophysical Techniques, and Introduction to Cosmology. Guo’s current projects use JWST to study spiral-like galaxy structures at high redshifts.
