I study the effects of single mergers in disc-shaped galaxies with N-body + SPH simulations. I am developing my work in ICC-UB under the supervision of Dr. Chervin Laporte. This work is done with the collaboration of the UCLan Galaxy Dynamics Group led by Professor Victor P. Debattista. I am also a Visiting Fellow at UCLan and an external collaborator of the S-Plus project. I had my PhD in Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the supervision of Dr. Martin C. Smith. In my thesis, I studied the properties of the Milky Way stellar halo in the Solar Neighborhood using Gaia and LAMOST data and isolated galaxy models. Check my ADS library for a complete list of my publications which includes papers I co-authored.
