Le Nguyen Huynh Anh (黎阮黄英)

Welcome

I am an extragalactic astronomer. My hometown is Thanh Binh Town, Dong Thap Province, Vietnam. I am currently an associate research fellow in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My research encompasses diverse topics within the study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), leveraging multi-wavelength data to investigate phenomena such as black hole properties, the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, and the impact of AGN feedback.

Thank God for giving me the chance to touch the beauty of this Universe. If there is a next life, I still choose to be an astronomer and a semi-professional badminton player :)
