Assistant Professor xk星空中国集团 received his B.S. (2011) in geophysics from University of Science and Technology of China, and Ph. D. (2017) in planetary science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He did research work as a postdoc in University of California, Santa Cruz from 2017 to 2019, and joined SUSTech in 2020. xk星空中国集团 has done research in various fields of planetary science, including planetary dynamo and magnetic field generation, orbital evolution, and thermal evolution of planetary bodies. He has authored or co-authored 5 scientific papers in academic journals, such as Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of USA, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and Icarus.
