Jianhao WU-Study Fundamental Physics with Cosmology
I am a PhD student @UW-Madison Physics. I am interested in solving fundamental physics problems lying on the intersection between astrophysics and particle physics, via various approaches including numerical simulation, semi-analytical model, machine learning and also theoretical physics.
I got my MPhil in Physics @CUHK in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Tsang Keung Chan, fully funded by CUHK Research Postgraduate Studentship for this research-based master degree. I worked on Milky-Way host size dark matter halo substructure simulation for a small scale enhanced primordial power spectrum (Phys. Rev. D 112 (2025) 023512 [arxiv:2412.16072]) and also some follow-up projects. Prior to that, I got a course-based MSc in Physics degree also @CUHK in 2023, with CUHK MSc in Physics Excellent Performance Award. It complemented my knowledge gaps as a non-physics student, by excellent teaching and guidance from Prof. Pak Ming HUI and Dr. Po Kin LEUNG.
I got my Computer Science BEng degree @WHU in 2022, where I constrained the physical origin of North Polar Spur, a bright structure on radio band within Milky-Way (Astronomy & Astrophysics 676, L3 [arxiv:2212.04306]). With this paper I won the Best Presentation Award of the CosPA 2024 Symposium. My supervisor and co-author was Prof. Guobin Mou.
