Qiushi (Chris) Tian

Post-bac Research Assistant, Johns Hopkins University

About Me

I'm a post-baccalaureate Research Assistant at the Johns Hopkins University. I work on stellar populations in nearby galaxies with the PHANGS collaboration, specifically the PHANGS Multiscale Stellar Associations.

I graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut in 2024 with a B.A. with Honors in Astronomy, where I started working with the SPACE Program on exoplanet hosts' photometric monitoring for stellar activity.

I am applying to graduate programs with a Fall 2025 start date.

What's here?

  • I'm from Beijing, China. My Chinese name is ็”ฐ็ง‹ๅฎž. It is written as ็”ฐ็ง‹ๅฏฆ in traditional Chinese characters. Tian (็”ฐ) is my family name, and it means a crop field. Qiushi (็ง‹ๅฎž) is my given name, roughly pronouced as "tsyu-shri," and it means autumn fruits. You can listen to the pronounciation on Google Translate. I always go by Chris when talking in English.

  • I took the banner photo of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42) myself! With my own 4-inch reflector and my dad's Canon 5D Mark II when I was... little. Oh gosh, it feels like many years ago and I don't remember exactly when!
