Welcome to my page! I'm Albert, a Dunlap Postdoctoral Fellow at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto.
I received my Ph.D. in Physics in 2023 from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. George F. Smoot
My interest in astronomy began in childhood. I've always been fascinated by the night sky and the universe's workings. This passion led me to pursue a career in astronomical research.
Curriculum Vitae
Research Interest:
Instrumental and Experimental Astronomy, especially on Radio Frequency electronics, Photon Detecting Instruments and mixed signal (analog and digitial) Readout System Development.

Research Highlights
In year 2018 (just before I started my Ph.D.), I found a start-up company with Prof. KS Wong (my undergraduate thesis supervisor), Dr. Chan and Anthony Lam.
We aim to develop low-cost, portable and remote controllable microscopes for laboratory and educational usage.

Despite the light pollution in city, we take our telescopes and cameras to the suburb once there is a clear sky. I also take some night sky photos during my trips.
Sometime I also helps local astronomy societies to hold astronomy events

I enjoy hiking and camping in my leisure time, as I feel relaxed in the nature
In burning hot summer time, I play watersports like windsurfing, kayaking or sailing.
Sometimes I go indoor bouldering or sport climbing with my friends (as a newbie). Would like to try outdoor climbing in future.
