Current Research interests:

• Accretion disks and jets (especially episodic jets)
  
• Active galactic nuclei, including Sgr A*
  
• Black hole X-ray binaries
• AGNs feedback
• Gamma-ray burst

Talks:

1. Luminous hot accretion flows
2. Accretion onto the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center
3. Advection-dominated accretion: from Sgr A* to low-luminosity AGNs
4. Some issues on models of black hole X-ray binaries
5. An MHD model for episodic jets (invited talk in IAU Symposium 275)
6. On the convective instability of hot accretion flow
   
7. ºÚ¶´¡ª¡ªÊ±¿ÕÍäÇúµÄÉñÃØäöÎÐ
8. AGNs feedback at sub-pc scale
