Fang Wenjuan, female, was born in 1981 in Xinxiang City, Henan Province. She graduated from the Department of Physics at Peking University in 2003, with a bachelor's degree. After obtaining her Ph.D. from the Columbia University in the United States in 2009, she conducted postdoctoral researches at the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. In 2016, she served as a specially appointed researcher at the Department of Astronomy, University of Science and Technology of China; since September 2018, she has worked as a specially appointed professor. Her research field is cosmology, with interests focused on understanding the history of cosmic expansion and structure formation, particularly the physical mechanisms driving late-time cosmic expansion acceleration, the physical processes in the very early universe, and exploring cosmological detection methods based on astrophysics. Her specific research methods include probing the nature of dark energy, potential deviations from general relativity due to gravity, inflation mechanisms, large-scale structure of the universe, weak gravitational lensing effects, cosmic microwave background radiation, and galaxy clusters.
