Figure 1: This is Nian Nian.

Hi there! I am a graduate student in astrophysics at Stony Brook University . I work with Michael Zingale on the development of numerical algorithms and their applications in modeling astrophysical thermonuclear explosion events, such as X-ray bursts.

Beyond academia, I enjoy playing fingerstyle guitar, reading manga, working on hands-on projects, and relaxing with my cat, NianNian.

Feel free to reach out to me at zhi.chen.3@stonybrook.edu .
