About me
I am a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), Germany,
working in the Infrared/Submillimeter group
with Dr. Natascha M. Förster Schreiber, Dr. Linda Tacconi
and Prof. Dr. Reinhard Genzel. My research focuses on the properties and evolution of galaxies at cosmic noon and beyond,
using data obtained with sub-millimetre and infrared instruments, including ALMA, IRAM/NOEMA, IFU instruments ERIS,
KMOS,
SINFONI on the VLT,
and space telescopes HST and JWST.
Currently, I am actively involved in the ALMA
large program CRISTAL,
where I focus on examining the kinematics of galaxies on kiloparsec scales at
redshift 4 < z < 6. I am also part of GALPHYS,
a multi-year ERIS GTO prgoram dedicated on galaxy evolution at cosmic noon.
I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I received my BSc in Physics and Astronomy
(double major) from The University of Hong Kong in 2018.
During my undergraduate studies, I spent several summers studying the formation history of the young stellar population
in BCGs from the CLASH survey. I obtained my MPhil degree in Astrophysics in 2020,
working with my thesis advisors Dr. Jeremy Lim and Prof. Thomas Broadhurst, on a project focused on
using gravitational lensing to search for potential signatures of fuzzy/wave dark matter.
My name in traditional Chinese is 李麗儀. Lilian Lee is my name for work.
