Welcome to the webpage of Chentao Yang
Hi, my name is 杨辰涛 (Yang, Chentao). My first name means "star (辰, chen) waves (涛, tao)" in Chinese. Recently, I started a new journey as a software developer at Jeppesen (a Boeing company), developing software for commercial airline companies and enjoying learning many new things from scratch.
From November 2021, I was a postdoc at the Chalmers University of Technology. Previously, I was an European Southern Observatory (ESO) Fellow in Chile with duties at ALMA. Check out my profile article on ESO's The Messenger. My astrophysics research focuses on extragalactic observations across infrared, (sub)millimeter, and radio wavelengths. I primarily study molecular gas and dust in galaxies, particularly water molecules. Using these observations, I aim to understand the physical and chemical processes governing galaxies.
Besides being an active reviewer for journals like A&A, ApJ, PASJ, etc., I have also served as an external panel reviewer for telescopes, including HST, JWST, and JCMT, as well as for funding organizations, including STFC (UK). I was also a selection committee member for the ESO (Chile) Fellowship and the ALMA Fellowship at JAO.
I enjoy orienteering, climbing, watching movies, and learning piano. I am also trying to continue some astrophysics research in my free time.
