305I am Zihao Wu (å´æ¢è±ª, pronounced <a href="https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%E5%90%B4%E6%A2%93%E8%B1%AA&op=translate">Wú zÇháo</a>), a PhD student in the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University, advised by Professor <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/deisenstein/">Daniel J. Eisenstein</a>. I am a member of the <a href="https://jades-survey.github.io/">JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES)</a>.</p> 306 307<p>My research focuses on JWST observations of galaxies in the early Universe. I currently lead a <a href="https://www.stsci.edu/jwst-program-info/program/?program=12340">JWST Cycle 5 program</a> as Principal Investigator, targeting one of the earliest known galaxy overdensities at z â 10.5 with 36 hr of NIRSpec spectroscopy. The observed galaxy abundance in this system far exceeds predictions from current cosmological simulations, making it a powerful laboratory for testing models of large-scale structure formation and galaxy evolution at cosmic dawn.</p> 308 309<h2 id="education">Education</h2> 310 311<p><strong>Harvard University</strong>, Cambridge, MA<br /> 312Ph.D. Candidate in Astronomy & Astrophysics (Advisor: Daniel J.
