Resume:

  Xiaohu Yang is currently a leading professor of the galaxy formation research group in the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory / Shanghai JiaoTong University. Xiaohu got his Ph.D. degree in the year 2002 in the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). After that he became a lecturer in that University. Then later in 2003 he moved to the University of Massachusetts as a Postdoc. In the year 2005, Xiaohu joined the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory as a full professor of Astronomy. During the years 2006-2011, he was the group leader of the partner group between the MPA and SHAO. So far, Xiaohu has published more than 80 papers, within which over 70 are published on the top international astronomical journals. These papers received more than 4000 citations. Because of his outstanding research work, in 2009, he got a grant from the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars.
