Dr. Zhang earned his PhD. degree at Carnegie Mellon University, and is currently a LINCC Frameworks research scientist and a research assistant professor of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Pitt. He is interested in weak lensing cosmology enabled by the High Latitude Wide Imaging Survey of the Roman Space Telescope. Dr. Zhang worked on joint image simulation between the Roman Space Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST). He currently works on Roman's photometric redshift estimation pipeline and shear estimation pipeline. Besides Roman, he utilizes the public GAIA data to study our motion within the local universe for near-field cosmology.
