Weak gravitational lensing imprints a coherent distortion onto the observed shapes of distant galaxies. At the image level, this gravitational shear degenerates with the intrinsic shape of galaxies, and the weak lensing signal-to-noise from an individual galaxy is of order 0.01. I will describe Kinematic Lensing, a new technique combining imaging and galaxy kinematics to measure weak lensing with signal-to-noise of order one per galaxy.

I obtained a bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University in 2018. Then I joined the PhD program at the University of Arizona in 2019 to work on weak lensing and multi-probe cosmology. My research interests are developing a new weak lensing technique, Kinematic Lensing, and constraining cosmology and baryonic feedback in our Universe through multi-probe analyses.
