Research Focus
MORE+[1] My research primarily focuses on experimental particle physics, with an emphasis on developing particle physics detectors. I aim to overcome the sensitivity limitations of traditional detectors by applying interdisciplinary approaches such as quantum measurement to dark matter and neutrino detection. I have achieved a series of pioneering results in areas including GeV and sub-GeV light dark matter detection, dual-phase argon time projection chambers, amorphous selenium-CMOS pixel detectors, and superconducting phonon detectors. These findings have been published in journals such as Physical Review Letters and Nature Communications. In the future, I plan to develop sub-electronvolt superconducting phonon detectors for detecting dark matter particles with lower masses and scattering cross-sections, as well as for observing other rare events. I also intend to further explore innovative applications of quantum information technology in particle detection.
