The 2nd Shanghai Jiaotong University Astronomical Summer Camp will be held from July 9th, 2018 to July 12th, 2018 at the Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University. The Astronomical Summer Camp was organized by the Department of Astronomy of Shanghai Jiaotong University and enrolled about 20 students for outstanding junior undergraduates. Activities include professional introductions, teacher-student exchanges, and astronomical stars. Based on the principle of “voluntary application, comprehensive evaluation, expert interview, and merit-based admission”, we will select outstanding undergraduates with good comprehensive quality, solid mathematical foundation and intention to engage in cutting-edge basic research in the astronomy department to join our graduate students. 

   The Department of Astronomy of Shanghai Jiaotong University was established in April 2017. It is affiliated to the School of Physics and Astronomy. Its predecessor was the Astronomical and Astrophysics Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, which was established in September 2012. The Department of Astronomy has first-class international competitiveness in the direction of galaxy cosmology and is actively expanding in other directions. The Department of Astronomy has 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 5 winners of the National Outstanding Youth Fund, 2 professors of the Ministry of Education, 2 of the 973 Chief Scientists, 2 of the Foundations of the Innovation Research Group of the Fund Committee, and 3 of the National Youth Thousand Talents Program. 10 doctoral tutors. At present, he has presided over many important topics such as the 973 project of the Ministry of Science and Technology (1 item), the fund group innovation group (1 item), and the key point (5 items). Hosted CLAUDS observation, led the China Alliance to participate in the PFS fourth-generation dark energy survey, participated in DESI, SKA, BINGO and other projects. The Department of Astronomy also works closely with the Institute of Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics of Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Li Zhengdao Institute in the frontier areas of dark matter and dark energy.

   Jing Yipeng, an astrophysicist. Professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Born in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province on January 9, 1964, he was born in Cixi, Zhejiang. He graduated from the former Hangzhou University in 1984 (later merged into Zhejiang University). In 1991, he obtained a master's degree from the Italian Graduate School of Advanced Studies. In 1992, he received his Ph.D. From 1993 to 1999, Jing Yipeng conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Arizona, the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, and the University of Tokyo, Japan. In 1998, Jing Yipeng was elected to the “Hundred Talents Program” of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After returning to China in 2000, he quickly established the Shanghai Observatory's Max Planck Youth Partner Group, which is mainly engaged in large-scale numerical simulation and evolutionary model research on the formation and evolution of galaxies. It was then the Shanghai Observatory. One of the most active astrophysics research groups.

   In 2012, Jing Yipeng joined the Department of Physics of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Jing Yipeng said that astronomy is not a discipline that is separated from other professions. Astronomy can only have more breakthroughs if it is cross-developed with other disciplines. In June 2013, under the promotion of Jing Yipeng and relevant leaders of Jiaotong University, Shanghai Jiaotong University announced the upgrading of the Department of Physics to the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Jing Yipeng is the Director of the Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Say "The research direction of our center is to decipher the 'question of the universe', draw a map of the universe, and study the structure of the universe, the material composition and evolution process in the universe." Jing Yipeng has 21 high-level papers with more than 100 citations, which indicates that his research and the astronomical research of Shanghai Jiaotong University are already in the leading position in the world. As a result of outstanding achievements in teaching and research, Jing Yipeng has served as the chief scientist of the 973 project, the head of the fund group innovation group project, and the members of the 973 project expert group. He has chaired the National Natural Science Foundation, the Outstanding Youth Fund, and the important orientation project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is responsible for scientific research tasks, and is responsible for the "11th Five-Year" astronomical development planning work of the Fund Committee. He also won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, the first prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Progress, the China Youth Science and Technology Award, the Shanghai Science and Technology Elite, and the Shanghai Model Worker. Such as scientific awards and honorary titles.

   Jing Yipeng is full of confidence in the development of Shanghai Jiaotong University's astrophysics. He said that in recent years, important discoveries of astronomy have emerged in an endless stream. The Nobel Prize in Physics has also been awarded to astrophysics. The astronomical observations such as dark matter, dark energy and exoplanet system have greatly enriched human understanding of the world of cosmic physics. Astronomy The integration with physics is imperative.

   Speaking of the future development direction of Shanghai Jiaotong University's Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Jing Yipeng clearly pointed out three goals: a new simulation of the universe, a large galaxy observation project PFS with Japan and the United States, and cooperation with Canada and France. Large area U-band project. The characteristics of the universe and celestial bodies determine the assumptions and assumptions that many conclusions of astronomy have established. Many conclusions are difficult to verify through scientific experiments. Even so, Jing Yipeng still believes that astronomy is a very precise and rigorous science, not through Simple imagination can be done. In order to better promote the cross-integration of physics and astronomy, the Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics will further condense the future development direction and research focus areas. The center's research work revolves around cosmology, galaxies formation, and black hole physics, focusing not only on theoretical cosmology, observational cosmology, and multi-band studies of galaxies, but also by adding large-scale observations to measured astronomy, data. Processing software, database construction and other expansion.
