Hello, Welcome to The Chemical Universe & Beyond.
We are a research group working on multiple perspective of the chemical evolution of the Universe, including galactic chemical evolution (GCE), astrochemistry, molecular excitation, star formation, and stellar initial mass function, etc. The group is led by Prof. Zhi-Yu Zhang at the School of Astronomy and Space Science, Nanjing University.
Postdocs
Three postdocs.
PhD students
Five Ph.D. students.
M.S. Students
One M.S. Student.
Past Members
More than ten Bachelor students graduated from the group.
What We Do
We are interested in
these directions:
Galactic Chemical Evolution
Our colorful world is made by various elements mostly formed in stars and evolved with cosmic time. By building up evolution tracks of element in galaxies, we can understand where are we from.
Multi-phase Interstellar Medium
Astrochemistry
Star Formation
Strong Gravitational lensing
Stellar Initial Mass Function

Eda Gjergo
Eda Gjergo joined the astronomy group in Nanjing University as a postdoc in September 2022. She is the developer of GalCEM, a Python package that integrates the evolution of isotopic and elemental abundances in galaxies. Over the course of her Ph.D. in Trieste, she lead the development of a dust evolution code within zoom-in cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters. She previously worked on the photometric identification of Type Ia supernovae for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and she conducted analyses on filter transmission for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).
