Editor Name: Jianrong Shi
Designation: Professor
University: National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Country: China
Biography: Dr. Jianrong Shi is a Professor and researcher in stellar
astrophysics at the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of
Sciences. His main research interests are the physics of stellar atmospheres,
fundamental stellar parameters, chemical abundances and non-local equilibrium
line formation. Now he is an Operations Manager of the LAMOST. He did his MS in Astrophysics from 1992-1995 at Peking
University, Beijing, China; Ph.D. in Physics from 1995-1998 at Shanghai
Jiaotong University. Main Scientific
Interests: Dr. Jianrong Shi’s main research interests encompass stellar
astrophysics, the origin of the chemical elements and the formation and
evolution of the Galaxies. In particular, his work focuses on accurately determining
the chemical composition of stars. By observing stars of different ages and locations,
we can thereby uncover for example how stars forge the different elements by nuclear
burning and how a galaxy like our own Milky Way has evolved with time since its
formation. His recent work focuses on accurately determining the abundances of
Li, Mg, Ca, Ba and Eu etc from the LAMOST medium resolution spectra.
