Bibliography
My research interest is on the high energy astrophysics, while mainly concentrated on the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). With collaborators, I mainly work on the dynamics and radiation mechanisms of the GRB prompt and afterglow emission. I am also interested in a larger area of physics, like numerical relativity, fundamental physics, atomic physics, quantum information theory etc.
