Weikai Zong

I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy in Beijing Normal University since 2019. Before, I held a joint postdoc fellowship between DA-BNU and NAOC Mega-science center after 2016 October when I won the doctoral degree from University de Toulouse, France. My working interests mainly focus on asteroseismology of compact pulsators, large surveys such as LAMOST and Kepler. I am among the first peers to discover the evidence of nonlinear interactions between resonant modes in pulsating sdB and white dwarf stars from Kepler photometry. With those findings, we (SC&GV@IRAP-CNRS) are also the first team to incorporate the contexts of amplitude and frequency modulations from radio physics to stellar oscillations. We (JNFu@BNU & PDC@ROB) currently lead the LAMOST-Kepler surveys in both low and medium resolution spectroscopy, aiming to observe the Kepler targets as many as possible. I have 20 publications currently mainly published on Nature, A&A, and ApJ series, with citation over 200. Began with my postdoc fellowship, I was awarded with four natural research funds over one million CNY, from the level of province to national.
