Dan Hu received her PhD in 2021 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. Her research focuses on studying the galaxy clusters and groups, particularly in the areas of the merger dynamics, chemical enrichment, and diffuse radio structures, by utilising the multi-wavelength (X-ray, radio and optical) observations and the smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations.
