Research Fields
The optical and infrared properties of nearby galaxies, infrared luminous galaxies and quasars, low surface brightness galaxies, by using international infrared facilities, LAMOST and FAST
Achievements

We first give the formula to calculate the infrared luminosity and stellar mass of galaxies by using Spitzer mid-infrared (Spitzer 8/24mu and 3.6/4.5mu) luminosities.. We also point out that submm band is not good to estimate the star formation rate..

Recently we construct a large sample of Low surface brightness galaxies(LSBGs), analyzing the their properties and exploring the reason of their low star formation efficiency.
