Research summary
AI-generated

Boyuan Liu's astrophysics work focuses on the early universe, particularly how primordial black holes and rapidly rotating stars may explain the surprisingly large and massive black holes and galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shortly after the Big Bang. This research uses theoretical models and observational data to understand the formation of the first stars, galaxies, and supermassive black holes, and their imprint on signals like the 21-cm cosmic signal. Note: the publication list associated with this name also includes many unrelated titles on battery materials, drug delivery, and medical topics, suggesting the bibliographic record may combine outputs from multiple researchers sharing this name.

Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from just a few papers per year around 2017-2019 to over 30-40 per year in 2024-2025, though this apparent growth may partly reflect merged records from multiple same-named authors.
