Research summary
AI-generated

Jiayi Sun's identifiable astrophysics work focuses on the structure and dynamics of gas in nearby galaxies, particularly how molecular and ionized gas relates to star formation. This research uses large observational surveys (such as PHANGS) combining radio, optical, and space-telescope data to study spiral arms, gas distribution, and the balance of forces shaping galactic disks. Note that the provided publication list contains many titles clearly unrelated to astrophysics (e.g., materials science, biology, linguistics), suggesting the name may be shared by multiple researchers or the record includes mismatched entries.

Publication counts grew substantially from 2017 to a peak around 2022-2023, then leveled off at a high rate (around 30-40 per year) through 2025, though this aggregate trend likely reflects a mixed record across multiple same-named individuals rather than one coherent research output.
