Dr. Hui Zhang is a senior researcher and teacher working on observations and theory studies of exoplanet systems. His major research interests include: (1)Strategy design and optimization of wide-field photometry survey program、systematic noise modeling、high-precision photometry data reduction；(2) Searching exoplanets using Transit and RV methods，(3) Exolanetary inner structure and atmospheric studies using high-resolution transmission/reflection spectrum；(4) Statistics studies on the dynamics properties of exoplanet systems using Machine Learning technics；(4)Studies on the planet-disk and planet-planet interactions and gas/dust accretion of embedded protoplanets using hydrodynamics-Nbody simulations. He has published more than 60 refereed papers, 12 of which are first- or communicating author. The total citation exceeds 5270 with the h-index of 20 and i10-index of 35。（https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Bvha2SkAAAAJ&hl=en&authuser=1）。

Dr. Hui Zhang has deeply involved many international observation projects, e.g.（1）the LiJET project, collaboration between University of Florida and Yunnan Observatory；(2）the Veloche project, led by University of New South Wales；（4）the MINERVA-AUS project, led by University of South Queensland；（5）the HROS project on TMT, led by NAOC; (6) the AST3 project, a collaboration between Chinese and Australian astronomy communities. (7) the ET project, which is a successor to Kepler mission and looking for the second Earth in the universe. From these projects, he has gained a lot of experience on the exoplanetary observations and made his own data reduction pipeline for high-precision wide-field photometry survey. With this pipeline, he has discovered more than 100 exoplanet candidates from the Chinese Antarctic Exoplanet Searching Program.
