+								Hi, I'm Xinyue! Welcome to my personal website.
+								I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher (and previously a PhD student) at the Astrophysics Research Centre, Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
+								My research interests include machine learning, Rubin/LSST, supernovae, and nuclear transients.
+								I grew up in CHANGCHUN city in northeastern China -- the capital of JILIN province, where the people are known for their hospitality and love for food!
+								*Fun fact: CHANGCHUN means "long spring" in Chinese, but it is actually a city with very long winter! 🙈
