EspañolYUN WANG
'Yun Wang' is a poet and professor of astrophysics specializing in cosmology. She is originally from Gaoping, a small town near Zunyi, in Guizhou Province, China. Her poetry books include ''The Carp'' from Bull Thistle Press, and ''The Book of Jade'' (ISBN 1-58654-023-8) from Story Line Press.
Yun Wang received a bachelor's degree in physics from Tsinghua University in Beijing, after which she came to the United States and obtained her master's and doctorate (also in physics) Carnegie Mellon University. Currently Associate Professor in the University of Oklahoma's Department of Physics and Astrophysics, she has published sixty-three papers, most recently specializing on probing the dark energy in the universe, with particular attention to studies of the Cosmic microwave background anisotropy, the use of supernovae and gravitational lensing as cosmological probes, and the measurement of cosmological parameters.
She is notably active as the Principal Investigator of the JEDI Collaboration (the Joint Efficient Dark-energy Investigation), a candidate implementation of the NASA-DOE Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM).
Her four most-cited recent papers are the following (with citations from SPIRES):
★ New dark energy constraints from supernovae, microwave background, and galaxy clustering, , Yun, Wang, Physical Review Letters, 2004 (Times Cited: 152)
★ Model-independent constraints on dark energy density from flux-averaging analysis of type Ia supernova data, , Yun, Wang, Astrophysical Journal, 2004 (Times Cited: 103)
★ Robust Dark Energy Constraints from Supernovae, Galaxy Clustering, and Three-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Observations, , Yun, Wang, Astrophysical Journal, 2006 (Times Cited: 75)
★ Uncorrelated Measurements of the Cosmic Expansion History and Dark Energy from Supernovae, , Yun, Wang, Physical Review, 2005 (Times Cited: 65)
★ The Quest for Dark Energy:High Road or Low? Science (magazine), VOL 309 2 September 2005 p. 1483
★ New Data on 2 Doomsday Ideas, Big Rip vs. Big Crunch by James Glantz, New York Times, February 21, 2004
★ Cosmic Doomsday Delayed by Mark Peplow Nature, no. 41101, 2004 (subscription required)
★ ESI Special Topic: Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Interview with Prof. Yun Wang and Prof. Max Tegmark (April 2007)
