Dr Weimin Yuan is lead of the High-Energy Astrophysics Group at NAOC. He received his PhD in physics at Technischen Universitaet Munich and Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Germany. He had worked as postdoctoral fellow at Tsukuba Space Center, JAXA, Japan, for the MAXI mission, and then as a research associate at Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, UK. Since 2004 he had been a research scientist at CAS’s Yunnan Astronomical Observatory, and at NAOC headquarter since 2010. He is also an adjunct professor of astrophysics at the University of Chinese Academy of Science.
