I am a PhD student in astronomy at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany. I was born and raised in Hong Kong and my name is 楊鎮熙 in Chinese.
My primary research revolves around X-ray diffuse emissions of various physical scales, and making use of X-ray spectroscopy to infer properties of the constituents of the diffuse X-ray background. Recently, I have been a ‘cartographer’ of the Local Hot Bubble, creating 3D map of the hot plasma in the solar neighbourhood.
In addition to my full-time research in X-ray astronomy, I have been a lifelong fan of the beautiful game ⚽ which I play regularly with friends.
