Gaoyuan Zhang
Gaoyuan was hired into our group at U. de Concepcion with previous SMBH funding; in April 2021 we will transition to an independent 3 year Fondecyt Postdoctoral Fellowship. Gaoyan works on the impact of high-energy processes produced by SNe and AGN on the chemistry of molecular clouds, particularly in the Galactic center.
