摘要：

I moved to CUHK in Aug. 2013, right after the Protostars & Planets VI conference, where we contributed a review chapter about the role of magnetic fields (B-fields) in star formation [1]. The chapter concluded that B-field orientation should be quite ordered from the cloud to core scales. We are trying to understand the consequence of such kind of B-fields on cloud fragmentation [2], star formation rates [3] and turbulence behaviors (anisotropy [4] and ambipolar diffusion), based on both observations and numerical simulations. We are also building the polarimeter, a field mapping instrument, for ASTE. I look forward to collaboration on these topics, especially from my hometown Taiwan.
