Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaowen Zhang is a CITA Postdoctoral Fellow and theoretical astrophysicist with nine years of research experience building high-performance empirical and statistical models to trace galaxy and black hole growth. He develops parallel simulation-based inference tools in C and Python, producing catalogs of billions of simulated objects and processing terabytes of HPC data to extract galaxy morphology and kinematics. Skilled in statistical modeling, time-series analysis, Gaussian processes, and machine learning, he has applied MCMC and GP methods to infer 3D galaxy structures and black hole variability. Comfortable working in teams from small groups to international collaborations of 100+, he also translates complex science for the public through outreach talks. Based in Canada, he blends deep computational proficiency with observational insight and a track record of scaling analyses to cluster-scale computing.
