Ling Zhu

(SHAO)

Research interests: My research is mostly focused on Galactic structure and dynamics. Recently, we develop a population-orbital superposition method to identify galactic structures with combination of kinematics and chemistry for unresolved systems observed by IFU instruments. I also probe the dark matter distribution of galaxies by combing kinematics of multiple tracers, e.g., stars, PNe, GCs and cold gas.
