Bin Ren

I lead the engineering of the mathematical basis of statistics for imaging science, especially on extracting faint objects around bright central sources (10⁵-10⁸ contrast) for high-contrast imaging in astronomy.

In 2014–2025, I was in the USA (The Johns Hopkins University; California Institute of Technology) then the European Union (Université Grenoble Alpes, France; Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, France; Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Germany) as a graduate student, postdoc, young researcher, Marie Curie Fellow, and guest, sequentially. I also have a Private Pilot certificate, and an Executive MBA. I received my undergraduate training as a physicist and a mathematical statistician in Xiamen University, China.

Research focus:

- Data reduction and analysis methods for high-contrast imaging.

- Observation of planet-disk interaction with ≥ 5 year timeline.

- Quasar host imaging with coronagraphs.
