Hsin-Pei Chen

I am a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at The University of Texas at Austin, United States. My work focuses on how stars form and evolve in the Universe.

I hold a M.S. degree from Institute of Astronomy, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, where I conducted astrophysical simulations of supernovae. I am currently a Graduate Research Assistant at UT in Dr. Stella Offner‘s research group, and my current project investigates the role of cosmic rays in star-forming clouds using STARFORGE simulations.

I was born and raised in Kaohsiung, a beautiful city in Southern Taiwan. And so was my dog, Mumu! We moved to Austin together in the summer of 2024.
