This website is like my career. It is still (and probably will always be) under construction!!

My name is Song Huang (黄崧). I am an associate professor (but I am still not tenured…fingers crossed) at the Department of Astronomy at Tsinghua University, China. You can find my CV here or check out my Github profile.

My primary research interest is the observational study of galaxy evolution and galaxy-halo connection. Most of my works take advantage of today’s multi-band imaging data, spectroscopic surveys, and hydrodynamic simulations to probe the structure assembly and star formation history of different classes of galaxies. I have a group of excellent students at Tsinghua now, and we welcome collaborations!

My recent works focus on the most massive (elliptical) and most abundant (dwarf galaxies) galaxies in our universe. Using weak gravitational lensing and statistical modeling techniques, I aspire to deepen our understanding of galaxy-halo connection models and explore their applications in observational cosmology.

I am a member of the Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) using the Hyper-Suprime Camera (HSC) on the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope and the Merian Survey - an intermediate-band survey of the HSC footprint using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). Recently, I have also joined the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) spectroscopic survey project.

At Tsinghua, we are building an ambitious 6.5-meter telescope called MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) for the next-generation spectroscopic survey. I am currently the co-project scientist helping organize MUST’s scientific collaboration.

I am always happy to discuss science and collaborate with people. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research or have any questions.
