Personal Profile
1995 - 1999: Studied in the Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree.
1999 - 2004: Studied at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, obtaining a Ph.D. in Physics. During the Ph.D. period, he participated in the ATLAS and CDF experiments. His main contributions included the electronics system and readout hardware and software for the beam telescope used in the ATLAS SCT beam tests, the construction, testing, installation, and maintenance of the CDF secondary vertex trigger system, and the triggering, reconstruction, and calibration of photon and electron events, as well as the electromagnetic shower shape in the CDF experiment. His Ph.D. research focused on studying some QCD effects in hadron colliders using diphoton final states. The related results of his Ph.D. thesis were published in PRL.
2004 - 2005: Worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the KU Leuven in Belgium, participating in the CMS experiment. During this period, his research focused on the associated production of W and Higgs in photon-proton collisions and lepton pair production in photon-photon collisions. He proposed using the latter for precise measurement of integrated luminosity within the collaboration.
End of 2005 - Present: Working at the Department of Modern Physics of USTC as an associate professor. He participated in the D0 experiment. His main work included the construction and maintenance of the SAMGrid USTC node, measurement of the efficiency of the L1CTT track trigger system, study of the Fiber Tracker light yield, methods for electron and photon reconstruction and selection, search for sneutrino R-parity violating processes, and search for Higgs in diphoton final states. In 2007, he received the first International Physicist Fellowship from Fermilab, working there for a year. Since 2008, he served as a member of the D0 Editorial Board, reviewing Zγ related physics papers. In the same year, he joined the LHC ATLAS collaboration to work on electroweak physics and is currently participating in the commissioning and calibration of the liquid argon calorimeter. He conducted collaborative research at the Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille (CPPM) from October 2008 to February 2009 and from August 2009 to August 2010.
In 2010, he was promoted to professor of the Department of Modern Physics of USTC, where he currently focuses on experimental physics research on ATLAS Higgs and electroweak physics, as well as the development of semiconductor detector technology.
