Welcome, you happen to come across Guangtun Ben Zhu's personal page.

I am an observational astrophysicist. My main research area is Galaxy Formation and Evolution, and I also have broad interest in other fields of physics, especially Cosmology and AGN physics. My favorite thing is to make use of massive observational datasets obtained with the best telescopes and extract unknown scientific information (the hidden "truth") about our Universe. You can learn more about my research by checking out my RESEARCH page.

I am currently a postdoc fellow in the Henry A. Roland Department of Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to this, I was a graduate student at the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics in the Department of Physics at New York University.

Please feel free to wander around and send me a message should you have any interest in knowing more about my work or me at:
