High contrast imaging science with coronagraphic instruments
While high-contrast imaging surveys in the past decade have produced only a handful of self-luminous exoplanets, they opened new gates for studying the forming environments of planetary systems. With multi-epoch and multi-wavelength imaging, I will talk about our ongoing efforts on scientific expeditions using current flagship observatories. They include (1) pinpointing the orbits of hidden pla...

Understanding the galaxy formation and metal-enrichment in the view of gas-regulator framework
Star-forming galaxies are actively accreting gas from surrounding materials during the cosmic time, while the feedback from star formation on the other hand blows the gas away as well as enriches the inter-stellar/-galactic medium. The interplay between inflow, outflow and star formation is then the key to understand the formation and evolution of star-forming galaxies, as well as the relevant...

Exploring galaxy dark matter with dynamical models using combined stellar and HI kinematics
The dynamical modelling technique is one of the major methods to measure the dark matter distribution in galaxies. Due to the degeneracy of baryonic and dark matter and the limitation of extended tracers in galaxies, accurate measurements of dark matter distribution in large sample of galaxies are still inadequate. We introduce our method to constrain the dark matter distribution in galaxies wi...

An Overview of Stellar Evolution and Pollution in AGN Disk (SEPAD) and their Implication on the Stellar Dynamics in the Galactic Center and around other Supermassive Black Holes
Extended regions of accretion disks around supermassive black holes in bright AGNs are prone to gravitational instability, star formation and stellar dynamical evolution with feedback to the disks' structure. Spectroscopic data provide vital clues on the stellar and residual black hole populations. Their dynamical interaction with each other, their natal disks, and other massive companions in a...

AGN Feedback in Dwarfs and Giants Near and Far
AGN feedback is a critical component in modern simulations of galaxy evolution. In dwarf galaxies, both observational and theoretical evidence of AGN feedback are accumulating, shedding new light on the evolution of dwarf galaxies. In massive galaxies, luminous quasars likely drive the most energetic outflows, making them the best laboratories to examine quasar feedback closely across cosmic ti...
