Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

I plan to pursue an academic career after my PhD. I want to become an excellent astrophysicist who conducts top-level research. It is a great chance for me to meet many people worldwide and build a more extensive international network of collaborators. I am eager to expand my horizons by interacting with and learning from the professors, researchers, and fellow students in the Forum, which will help me be a better researcher in future.

Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

I am broadly interested in the physics involved in the accretion, emission, and particle acceleration around compact objects. I have been conducting research on black hole astrophysics for 4.5 years under the supervision of Prof. Jane Dai, since I was an undergraduate student. I have focused on using advanced general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) codes to do numerical modelling of black hole accretion disks and jets for my research projects. I designed and carried out a series of simulations of super-Eddington accretion disks to understand the power engine of tidal disruption events, ultraluminous X-ray sources and quasi-periodic eruptions.
