Dark matter and dark energy models, intensity mappings of atomic, molecular and 21cm emission lines, cosmic infrared background, cosmic large-scale structure, model constraint with observational data
In 2011, we first proposed to use molecular and fine structure lines to probe the epoch of reionization, and several planned and on-going projects are based on this work.
In 2012, we developed an intrahalo light model for galaxies, which can naturally explain the puzzle of the excess of near-IR background anisotropies.
In 2017, we suggested to observe the polarization of 3.5 keV emission line, which can test the axion-conversion hypothesis, and provide an effective way to verify the existence of axion particle (as a dark matter candidate).
