Mai Xiaofeng

Mai Xiaofeng is a prominent astrophysicist at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and the first author of a groundbreaking study published in the journal 'Science Advances.' His research team has made significant strides in understanding the formation of massive stars, revealing the intricate processes by which gas flows from large scales to smaller scales in star-forming regions. Utilizing advanced observational techniques with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Very Large Array (VLA), they have provided crucial insights into the hierarchical structure and gas accumulation processes that govern massive star formation.
