SHAO Zhengyi received his Bachelor degree of Physics from Peking University in 1990 and his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), CAS in 1996. During his 28 years of service at SHAO thereafter, he researched in the field of Open Clusters, Nearby Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters. From 2005 to 2010, he was the chief professor of the group of 1.56m optical telescope at Sheshan station. In 1998 and 2012, he shared the honors of the 2nd prize of natural science of CAS and the 3rd prize of science and technology of Beijing. His current research interesting is using the Bayesian method to combine the photometric and spectrometric data from multiple major sky surveys to modeling the structure and stellar populations of nearby galaxies, as well as the Milky Way and the stellar clusters therein.

(1) Galaxy formayion and evolution；

(2) Stellar clusters and the structure formation of the Milky way.

(3) Bayesian inference and data mining.
