Welcome! My name is Zhen-Yi Cai (蔡振翼). Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Center for Astrophysics, USTC, Hefei, China, after having graduated as a joint PhD student of SISSA and XMU. During the PhD study, I have been working on a galaxy evolution model, which is being developed at SISSA (Trieste, Italy) and Padova observatory (Padova, Italy) and tested against multi-wavelengths data, e.g., luminosity functions, number counts, extragalactic background, clustering, etc. Collaborating with Prof. Jun-Xian Wang in USTC, I am also thinking of the quasar variability, which is probably as a result of the local temperature fluctuation of the accretion disk surrounding the central supermassive black hole. Education:
