Tsang Keung Chan
Tsang Keung Chan is a computational astrophysicist. He develops novel numerical models to address various astrophysical problems, from dark matter halos to radiation. Currently, he is investigating the relationship between reionization, galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. Ultimately, he plans to bridge the high redshift and the present-day, nearby universe, using state-of-the-art simulations. Outside of astronomy, Chan enjoys playing cello, practicing badminton, and planning the next travel adventure.
