About

Welcome! I’m Song Huang (黄崧), an associate professor in the Department of Astronomy at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
I am honored to serve as the co-project scientist for the MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST), a cutting-edge 6.5-meter telescope led by Tsinghua University that will usher in a new era of spectroscopic surveys in China.

My research passion lies in unraveling the mysteries of galaxy formation and understanding how galaxies connect with their dark matter halos. Currently, I am focusing on the "life stories" of the Universe's most massive galaxies, tracing their evolution and development. I’m also actively involved in major international collaborations, including the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC SSP), where I lead the Galaxy Cluster working group. This ambitious imaging survey, using the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope, seeks to unveil the structure of the Universe at large scales.

Beyond my research on massive galaxies, I’m exploring the galaxy-halo connection at the dwarf galaxy scale through the Merian Survey, utilizing DECam’s intermediate-band imaging capabilities. I’m also a proud member of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) collaborations, both of which aim to address some of the most profound questions in cosmology and galaxy evolution.

I am deeply committed to fostering a love for astronomy through public outreach. Astronomy serves as a perfect lens to spark curiosity and inspire wonder, and I strive to make this incredible science accessible to all.

Before joining Tsinghua, I completed postdoctoral research at Kavli-IPMU/UTokyo, UCSC, and Princeton. I earned my Ph.D. in astrophysics from Nanjing University in 2014.
