Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTianqing Zhang is a research scientist and Visiting Researcher with eight years of experience applying precision analysis to weak gravitational lensing and cosmology. Based at University of Pittsburgh and SLAC, he leads and contributes to multiple LSST/DESC efforts—co-convener of the Pixel-to-Object working group, co-lead of the RAIL topical team, and active in photometric redshift and Rubin commissioning work. His PhD work at Carnegie Mellon focused on PSF and photometric redshift systematics, underpinning his drive toward sub-percent weak lensing precision. Tianqing also contributes to cosmological analyses for Subaru HSC and develops LINCC frameworks to bridge analysis pipelines and reproducible workflows. He blends deep astrophysics expertise with practical framework development, often working at the interface of pixel-level systematics and large-scale survey inference. Based in Pittsburgh, he brings a rare combination of hands-on instrument/commissioning experience and software-focused research leadership.
