As an early-career researcher deeply invested in advancing the frontiers of astrophysics, I am excited about the opportunity to participate in the Hong Kong Laureate Forum. My current work focuses on gravitational wave astrophysics, particularly the detection of gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries using pulsar timing arrays. Through active involvement in international collaborations such as NANOGrav and the IPTA, I have gained invaluable experience in large-scale, interdisciplinary research, an approach I am eager to further cultivate at the Forum.

The Hong Kong Laureate Forum offers a rare platform to interact with world-renowned scientists and promising young researchers across diverse scientific domains. I believe that such cross-disciplinary dialogue not only fuels innovation but also fosters a broader perspective on addressing global scientific challenges. Attending this Forum would be a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, explore collaborative pathways, and contribute to a vibrant, inclusive scientific community. I am enthusiastic about bringing my expertise and curiosity to this global conversation and look forward to being part of this inspiring initiative.

My research focuses on the detection of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from individual supermassive black hole binaries using pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) and identification of their host galaxies through electromagnetic observations. Formed during galaxy mergers, these binaries are among the most promising sources of low-frequency GWs. I develop and implement advanced detection frameworks and data analysis pipelines that incorporate relativistic binary dynamics, including orbital eccentricity and black hole spin, to enhance search sensitivity and parameter estimation of such signals in PTA datasets. A successful multi-messenger detection of such systems would offer transformative insights into supermassive black hole growth, galaxy mergers and evolution, large-scale structure formation, and the expansion history of the universe. It would also open new avenues for testing general relativity in strong-field regimes.

I am an active member of the NANOGrav and IPTA collaborations and currently co-leading the search for continuous GWs from SMBHBs in the upcoming IPTA Data Release 3. In addition to GW detection, I work on combining data across global PTAs, improving pulsar timing precision, and understanding noise properties in pulsar timing data to enable robust GW analysis in PTA datasets.
