讲座人简介；Q. Daniel Wang is a professor in the Astronomy Department at University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received his Ph.D. in astronomy in 1990 from Columbia University and was awarded the 1992 ASP Robert J. Trumpler Award for Outstanding North American Ph.D Dissertation Research in Astronomy. He was then a NASA Edwin P. Hubble Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Colorado and later a Lindheimer Fellow at Northwestern University. He was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and a Raymond and Beverley Sackler Distinguished Visiting Astronomer at University of Cambridge. He was honored first as the Siyuan Visiting Professor and later as the Yixing Visiting Chair Professor in the School of Astronomy and Space Science at Nanjing University, recently as a US Fulbright Scholar and a visiting professor at Pontificia Universidad Cat´olica de Chile, and as a visiting professor at Tsung-Dao Lee
Institute and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research is primarily on high-energy astrophysics. He is recognized for his pioneering work on X-ray mapping and spectroscopy of diffuse hot plasma in and around galaxies and for leading several major surveys of the Milky Way Galaxy center, using state-of-the-art telescopes. He was the principle investigator of many national and international research projects (with multi-million US dollar funding), including several large observing projects with the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and XMM-Newton X-ray
Observatory. He has (co-)authored 220+ research papers published in refereed journals (including four in Nature and one in Science as the lead author and one single author review paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). His publication covers a broad range of topics: compact stars, supernova remnants, superbubbles, and hot circumgalactic and intergalactic media, as well as galactic nuclei and their
environments. His current research focuses on the feedback and ecosystem of galaxies and galactic nuclear regions. He mainly uses radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray observations to conduct these studies.
