University of Pittsburgh
LINCC Frameworks Research Scientist
Tianqing Zhang earned his Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on weak gravitational lensing analysis and its sources of systematics, including point spread function (PSF) and photometric redshift. He is involved in the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, is currently co-convener of the Pixel-to-Object working group, and co-lead of the RAIL topical team, and is an active member of the weak lensing, photometric redshift, and Rubin commissioning team. He is passionate about working towards sub-percent precision for the weak lensing cosmology. Tianqing is also involved in the cosmological analysis of the Subaru Hyper-Suprime Cam. Outside of work, he enjoys exploring nature and star gazing.
