I am committed to advancing detector hardware innovation and using it as a powerful tool to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM).

Over the past decade and more, I have been deeply involved in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. My contributions range from high-speed data acquisition (DAQ) system architecture design and large-scale production and high-precision quality control of advanced silicon micro-strip detectors, to physics analysis using ATLAS data. These experiences have given me a profound understanding that groundbreaking physics discoveries are often built upon pushing the limits of detector hardware while maintaining strong physics insight.

Our group uniquely integrates cutting-edge hardware development with high-energy physics analysis. The hardware team is currently focused on developing high time-resolution and high spatial-resolution silicon detectors for next-generation collider experiments (such as CEPC and FCC-ee). On the physics analysis side, I lead the team in exploring dark matter searches, precision Higgs boson measurements, and the application of advanced machine learning techniques for complex event reconstruction.

I place strong emphasis on cultivating students’ international perspective and independent research capabilities. Group members will work in a highly international research environment and have the opportunity to directly participate in core R&D for major international projects, including the LHC upgrade and the CEPC. You will collaborate with world-leading physicists, take on challenging sub-tasks in real large-scale scientific projects, and receive systematic training across the full chain from hardware design to physics analysis.

If you are passionate about experimental particle physics and eager to deepen your expertise at the intersection of hardware innovation and new physics discovery, I warmly welcome you to join our team. Together, we will push the boundaries of particle physics.

Main Research Directions

1. Advanced Silicon Detector Development

Full-chain R&D of high-performance silicon micro-strip and pixel detectors for future colliders (CEPC, FCC-ee, etc.) and practical applications. Research topics include detector design and simulation, new materials and sensor process development, large-scale production and quality control, mechanical structure design, cooling systems, beam testing, and system integration. We also explore the application of silicon detector technologies in medical imaging and other fields.

2. High-Speed Data Acquisition and Readout Electronics (DAQ) Systems

Research on large-scale high-speed data acquisition architectures, real-time trigger systems, and high-bandwidth data transmission and processing. Particular focus is placed on next-generation readout electronics, including RISC-V based custom processors, heterogeneous computing architectures, radiation-hardened design, low-power high-bandwidth systems, and other frontier technologies.

3. New Physics Searches and Precision Measurements

Utilizing LHC ATLAS experiment data for dark matter candidate searches, precision measurements of Higgs boson properties, and probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Emphasis is placed on developing advanced machine learning methods for complex event reconstruction, particle identification, and background suppression.

Group Highlights: Students in all directions have the opportunity to participate in both hardware development and physics analysis, forming a complete research loop from detector design to final physics results. This integrated approach provides particularly strong and comprehensive training for aspiring experimental particle physicists.

Graduate Admissions

Our group primarily recruits graduate students in Experimental Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics. We welcome highly motivated candidates who are passionate about experimental particle physics, high-energy physics experimental techniques, and detector development.

We particularly encourage applicants with the following undergraduate backgrounds to apply for Master’s programs: Microelectronics Science and Engineering, Electronic Science and Technology, Semiconductor Physics, Physics, and Applied Physics.

We also welcome students from related interdisciplinary fields such as Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Automation/Control Engineering. As long as you have a strong interest in detector hardware or data processing and are willing to commit to the field, we highly encourage you to apply and to contribute your expertise to experimental particle physics and advanced detector research.

For PhD applicants, preference will be given to candidates who already have a solid foundation in experimental particle physics, high-energy physics experimental techniques, or detector development.
