Postdoctoral Scholar

Hui received his B.S. and M.S. in astronomy and astrophysics from Nanjing University in China in 2009 and 2012. He then moved to the University of Michigan and obtained his Ph.D. in 2017. He joined MKI in Oct. 2017 as a postdoctoral associate working with Prof. Mark Vogelsberger.

Research interests:

Anisotropy Thermal Conduction and Turbulence in Magnetized IntraCluster Medium
Simulating Star Cluster Formation and Evolution in Various Scales
Formation and Evolution of Globular Cluster in Different Types Galaxies
Cosmic Ray Acceleration and Propagation in the Galaxy
The Gamma-Ray Emission of Supernova Remnants and Pulsar Wind Nebulae

Currently, I'm using moving-mesh magnetohydrodynamic code AREPO to investigate the interplay between star formation and subsequent feedback processes in giant molecule clouds. Specifically, I'm trying to study the effects of ionizing radiation, stellar wind, and supernovae from young stars to the structure of GMCs.
