Welcome to Leon Chan's Webpage

About me

I am an astrophysicist working at JILA and the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at the University of Colorado. I am also a member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. I previously worked at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am interested in a wide range of high-energy astrophysics problems, including but not limited to black holes, accretion discs, collapsars, supernovae, and compact objects like white dwarfs and neutron stars. To address these problems, I performed numerical simulations and sometimes semi-analytical calculations. I also developed my numerical tools to solve complicated astrophysical fluid dynamic problems.
