Yanbei Chen

Yanbei Chen is a theoretical physicist who specializes in understanding extreme cosmic phenomena, particularly black holes and gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime caused by massive objects. His work involves developing mathematical models to explain how these phenomena behave and interact, helping scientists interpret data from detectors like LIGO. By doing so, Chen contributes to our understanding of the universe’s most energetic events, advancing the field of astrophysics and helping us explore fundamental questions about gravity and matter under extreme conditions.
