Research Interests

Finding massive black holes and some SMBH-related phenomena (e.g., quasar outflows, quasar emission lines)
Co-evolution (or not) of SMBHs and their host galaxies (e.g., redshift evolution of the AGN feedback power, the major/minor mergers, secular evolution)
Statistical studies of SMBHs and galaxies (e.g., luminosity function, BH mass function, accretion rate distribution function, the BH occupation fraction in galaxies, the major/minor merger rates)
