Quanzhi Ye

Associate Research Scientist

I am a planetary astronomer interested in the small bodies of the Solar System---asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. I use a wide range of techniques to study these objects, from ground-based and space-based telescopes in ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths, to wide-field cameras and radars that capture the light and debris of meteors, and to large-scale numerical simulations running on supercomputers.
