Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of nature, yet how well do we know it, especially when it is stronger than we have ever experienced in the lab? Cosmology and astrophysics provide a good place to search for answers in the strong gravity environments of early Universe and black holes. How did Universe begin? Is Einstein gravity the final answer? Do extra dimensions exist? Can we see them in the sky? What happens around (and inside) a black hole? These are the kinds of questions that I want to address through my research.

重力是自然界的基本力之一，但我们对它的了解有多深，特别是当它比我们在实验室中经历过的更强时？宇宙学和天体物理学提供了一个很好的地方，在早期宇宙和黑洞的强引力环境中寻找答案。宇宙是如何开始的？爱因斯坦引力是最终答案吗？额外维度存在吗？我们能在天空中看到它们吗？黑洞周围（和内部）发生了什么？这些都是我想通过我的研究来解决的问题。
