Daming Yang 羊达明
I am a PhD candidate at Leiden Observatory, working with Joe Hennawi. I study quasars and galaxies in the first billion years of the Universe. My current work focuses on discovering quasars deep in the epoch of reionization with the Euclid space telescope and the largest ground-based telescopes (especially Keck), and understanding the supermassive black holes that power quasars of all kinds with JWST and ALMA. More recently, I have also begun studying the brightest galaxies of the reionization era.
