Assistant Research Scientist
About
Feige Wang is an observational astronomer with broad research interests in observational cosmology and extragalactic astronomy. He is leading efforts to study the environments and dark matter halos of the earliest supermassive black holes and galaxies, to find and characterize protoclusters and large-scale structures in the early Universe, to conduct deep galaxy redshift surveys using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and multi-wavelength follow-up observations, to map the history and morphology of Cosmic Reionization, and to develop new techniques for mining big data from Euclid, Rubin, and Roman missions.
Notably, Feige is one of the primary users of the JWST and is leading several JWST legacy programs. He is actively involved in many large collaborations, including but not limited to the JWST ASPIRE Collaboration, the LSST AGN Science Collaboration, the Euclid Quasar Working Group, and the Roman Cosmic Dawn Investigation team. Feige recently joined the University of Michigan and is looking for new students and postdocs.
