Overview
I am a reader at the astrophysics group of School of Physics and Astronomy at the Cardiff University. My research focuses on dust and molecules in evolved stars, supernovae and supernova remnants, using the state-of-art instruments, including the Herschel Space Observatory, ALMA, SOFIA, and the James Webb Space Telescope.

Research
Research interests
My research interest is dust and molecules in evolved stars and supernovae, with a focus on how and how much dust and molecules are formed in these stars, and what is their contribution to the global dust budgets of the interstellar medium of galaxies. Recently, our observations with the Herschel Space Observatory found a significant mass (~half a solar mass) of dust in the supernova 1987A. Furthermore, we also found cold (<120K) molecules from this supernova. Presently, I am investigating how the dust and molecules have been formed in supernovae, by using Herschel, ALMA, SOFIA, VLT and JWST.
