Dr. Baolin Tan got his PhDin Purple Mountain Observatory of CAS in 2006 June. He is now a professor in the National Astronomical Observatories of CAS, and also a professor on Plasma Astrophysics in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. His main research interest is focused on solar physics, including topics of electric currents in solar atmosphere, the spectral fine structures of solar radio bursts, coronal magnetic field diagnostics from radio observations, precursors of solar eruptions, coronal heating, and the origin of solar cycles. He discovered several new characteristics of solar radio bursts, including millisecond timescale of broadband microwave QPPs, statistics of microwave zebra patterns, and peculiar small microwave bursts. He also demonstrated the multi-timescales of solar cycles, and the strong correlations between the planetary motions in solar system and solar cycles. He proposed a tearing-mode modulation model to explain the formation of radio spectral fine structures, and a magnetic gradient pumping model to explain the coronal heating and the triggering mechanism of solar eruptions. He has published more than 80 papers on journals of ApJ, Solar Physics, A&A, RAA, etc.
