Feng Yuan received his Bachelor of Physics from Shandong University Physics Department in 1991 and his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1997. He then joined Astronomy department of Nanjing University, Max-Planck Institute of Radio Astronomy, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and Physics department of Purdue University as a postdoc. After that, he was recruited by the “Bairen Program” of Chinese Academy of Sciences as a full professor of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. He is now the director of the Astrophysics division of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. His main research interests include black hole accretion, active galactic nuclei, black hole X-ray binaries, and galaxy formation and evolution.
