About me

Hello! My name is Qinxun Li (李秦埙). Currently I am a graduate student in University of Utah. I work with Prof. Kyle Dawson on observational cosmology.

In observational cosmology, I mainly work in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration. My research focuses on probing dark energy properties and cosmological parameters with Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), a standard ruler in the large-scale structures of the universe. I am also interested in other cosmological probes such as redshift space distortion (RSD) and weak gravitational lensing.

Before I entered the Ph. D. program at Utah, I got my Bachelor of Science degree in Astronomy from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My bachelor thesis is on galaxy-galaxy lensing of subhalos.
