Suoqing Ji, Associate Professor
Bio:
Prof. Suoqing Ji is an associate professor at the Department of Physics and an adjunct faculty member at the Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Ion-Beam Application (MOE), Fudan University. After obtaining his Ph.D. in physics from University of California Santa Barbara in 2018, he moved to the California Institute of Technology as a Sherman Fairchild Prize Fellow in Theoretical Astrophysics from 2018 to 2021. He then became an associate professor at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, CAS before joining in Fudan in 2024. As a PI of the FIRE collaboration, he combines both large-scale cosmological zoom-in simulations and high-resolution idealized simulations to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies from a multi-scale and multi-physics perspective.
Research interests:
Galaxy formation and evolution: the circumgalactic medium, supernova and AGN feedback, cosmic rays, galaxy clusters. Astrophysical fluid dynamics: turbulence, magnetohydrodynamics, fluid and plasma instabilities. Computational astrophysics.
