Eric Peng's Teaching

Lei Yang (杨蕾). Currently a Masters student at PKU (2009-), she got her bachelors degree at Hebei University. She is working on the feasibility of determining chemical abundances of stars from stacking medium resolution spectra (collaborators: Raja Guhathakurta and Evan Kirby).

Jun Xu (胥君). Currently a Masters student at PKU (2009-). He is working on the halo stars of the nearest elliptical galaxy, NGC 5128 (Centaurus A).

Jingjing Chen (陈晶晶). An undergraduate at PKU (2009-), she is working on processing images of galaxies in the Next Generation Virgo Survey.

Yiqing Liu (刘逸清). Currently a Ph.D. student at PKU (2011-), she did her bachelors in astronomy at Nanjing University, and worked on her undergraduate thesis at PKU. Her thesis examined the radial density distribution of halo starts using the Next Generation Virgo Survey imaging.

Biao Li (李彪). Currently a Ph.D. student at PKU (2010-), he is interested in stellar dynamics in early-type galaxies.

Yang-Shyang Li (李洋祥). A Kavli Postdoctoral Fellow (2010-), she did her Ph.D. at the Kapteyn Institute in Groningen, Netherlands. She is an expert in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, the formation of dwarf galaxies, and feedback processes in galaxy evolution.

Former Students

Xiaojun Cheng. A PKU undergraduate, graduated 2010 (entered 2006), she did her senior thesis on the luminosity function of Virgo cluster galaxies using the SDSS DR7.

Qiushi Wang (王秋实). Undergraduate at PKU, graduated 2009. His senior thesis was on "The Alignment between Globular Cluster Systems and Early-Type Host Galaxies". This work led to a research article that has been submitted to the Astrophysical Journal. He is currently enrolled in graduate school at New York University.

Former Postdocs

Chengze Liu. Assistant Professor, Shanghai Jiaotong University (2011-present). Formerly a postdoc at PKU (2009-2011), he obtained his Ph.D. at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. He is an expert in galaxy photometry and stellar population gradients in galaxies.
