Senior🎓
Top SchoolYan Wang is an Associate Professor of Physics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology with nine years of post-PhD experience specializing in pulsar astronomy, pulsar timing arrays, and data analysis for nanohertz gravitational-wave detection. His work blends statistical theory and software development to extract gravitational-wave signals from high-precision pulsar timing and to characterize timing noise, informed by a background in general relativity and accretion physics. He contributed to NANOGrav during a postdoctoral stint at the Center for Advanced Radio Astronomy, focusing on parameter estimation and pipeline development for PTA searches. Yan’s research spans observational pulsars to theoretical treatments of black holes and accretion disks, reflecting a rare combination of hands-on data analysis and deep astrophysical modeling. Based in Wuhan, he maintains an active research and teaching portfolio while mentoring the next generation of astronomers.
