My name is Yixiao Lyu (吕轶啸). My research investigates the formation epochs and redshift evolution of galactic bars, using mock simulations to correct observational biases in high-z surveys. Future work will apply this framework to quantify lopsided disks.

Interests

• Galaxy evolution
• Galatic bar
• Lopsidedness of disk
• Coevolution of galaxy and SMBH

Technical Expertise

• Simulations: CGS→HST/JWST mock imaging
• Analysis: 1D fitting (Isophote/Fourier methods). 2D decomposition (GALFIT)
• Programming: Python (Astropy, Photutils)
• Surveys: CGS, EGS, CEERS

Education

• PhD in Astronomy, 2023-Present
  • Peking University
  • Advisor: Prof. Luis C. Ho
• BSc in Astronomy, 2023
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University
  • Advisor: Prof. Zhao-Yu Li

Publications

• On the Detectability and Measurement of Galactic Bars as a Function of Redshift (in prep)
