My research explores various topics of exoplanet atmospheres, circumstellar disks, and planet formation, with particular interests in utilizing high-resolution spectroscopy to probe atmospheric properties of exoplanets, such as chemical and isotopic composition, atmospheric structure and escape, which bear valuable information of planet formation and evolution history.
