I am an NHFP Einstein Fellow at UC Berkeley in the Department of Astronomy. I am a member of the CHIME/FRB Collaboration, and did my PhD at MIT Physics with Kiyo Masui. Since 2018 I’ve been playing a leading role in the CHIME/FRB Outriggers Project, which aims to VLBI-localize hundreds of fast radio bursts (FRBs) to 50 mas precision over CHIME’s entire 200 deg^2 field of view every year. These FRBs and their redshifts will open up a new tracer of baryonic large-scale structure. FRBs are also a fast, compact, and ubiquitous transient (one FRB hits Earth every 2 minutes!) to use as a unique...

Rixin Li

51 Pegasi b Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Rixin Li’s research uses numerical simulations to understand the evolution of dusty circumstellar disks, the formation of planets therein, and the astrophysics of black holes in AGN disks, from which he makes observable predictions to test the underlying theories.
