About Hai
Hai Fu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Iowa. He earned his BS in Astronomy from Nanjing University in 2003, MS in Astronomy from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2005, and PhD in Astronomy from the same institution in 2008. Following his doctoral studies, he held postdoctoral positions at the California Institute of Technology from 2008 to 2011 and at the University of California, Irvine from 2011 to 2013. He joined The University of Iowa as an Assistant Professor in 2013, advancing to Associate Professor in 2019. His research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, with observational projects examining the impact of galaxy mergers, the evolution of galactic rotation curves, and gas accretion flows that connect the cosmic web to dusty starburst galaxies. Specific interests include galaxy mergers, rotation curves of high-redshift galaxies, and gas accretion in early massive halos. He has supervised PhD theses in Physics with an Astronomy subtrack at The University of Iowa.
Hai Fu has authored numerous publications in leading journals. Key works include 'A Long Stream of Metal-poor Cool Gas around a Massive Starburst Galaxy at z = 2.67' (2021, The Astrophysical Journal), 'SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Radial Profile of Enhanced Star Formation in Close Galaxy Pairs' (2021, The Astrophysical Journal), 'X-Ray Properties of Radio-selected Dual Active Galactic Nuclei' (2019, The Astrophysical Journal), 'Flat Rotation Curves Found in Merging Dusty Starbursts at z = 2.3 through Tilted-ring Modeling' (2018, The Astrophysical Journal Letters), 'SDSS-IV MaNGA: Galaxy Pair Fraction and Correlated Active Galactic Nuclei' (2018, The Astrophysical Journal), 'The Circumgalactic Medium of Submillimeter Galaxies. II. Unobscured QSOs within Dusty Starbursts' (2017, The Astrophysical Journal), and 'Radio-selected Binary Active Galactic Nuclei from the Very Large Array Stripe 82 Survey' (2015, The Astrophysical Journal). He serves as a referee for journals such as The Astrophysical Journal, The Astronomical Journal, Astronomy & Astrophysics, and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Additionally, he has reviewed grant proposals for the National Science Foundation and observing proposals for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
