About

Yulei Qiu is an astronomer whose work spans supernova surveys, ultraviolet astronomy, gamma-ray bursts, and robotic systems. A key contribution is his role in the *Hubble Space Telescope* Snapshot Survey of nearby supernovae (2002, 58 citations), which provided critical late-time photometry of 12 supernovae, linking space-based and ground-based observations to study their long-term evolution. He also led the photometric calibration of the Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT, 2015, 15 citations), the first robotic telescope to operate on the lunar surface, enabling precise near-ultraviolet measurements during its first six months. Qiu contributed to the multiband study of the optically dark GRB 051028 (2007, 10 citations), using data from the Lulin and WIDGET telescopes to characterize its afterglow. More recently, he has ventured into robotics with work on robotic fabric flattening using wrinkle direction detection (2024, 7 citations). His early efforts include the Supernova Survey System at Beijing Astronomical Observatory (1999, 6 citations). With a career bridging astrophysics and applied robotics, Qiu demonstrates versatility in tackling both cosmic phenomena and practical engineering challenges.
