Nan Li

Currently, I am a joint Postdoc at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory. Over the past two years I have concentrated on the construction of gravitational lensing simulations (including strong and weak lensing in galaxy clusters, and galaxy-galaxy strong and weak lensing). I am experienced with Python, C\C++, and Cython, and familiar with OpenMP, OpenCL, and MPI4py. I am also knowledgeable with running codes on super computing resources (e.g., Edison at NERSC). In the future, my research interests are mainly on the Twinkles simulation, which is a simulation on gravitational lensing time delays in galaxies, and applying machine learning on lens-finding.
