The research group led by me is responsible for promoting the scientific apparatus-high-energy underwater neutrino telescope project (HUNT) , and the project sponsor is Academician Cao Zhen. The HUNT project will creatively develop the next generation of neutrino astronomical detector technology, detect the neutrino point source of high-energy celestial bodies with unprecedented sensitivity, and finally solve the century-old unsolved problem of the origin of cosmic rays. At present, the project is in the pre-research stage, with the participation of more than a dozen research institutes at home and abroad. The conceptual design of the project has already taken shape, and many key devices and technologies of the detector have been broken through. At the same time, prototype work has been carried out in Lake Baikal in Russia and Nanhai in China.

Welcome students who are interested in neutrino astronomy to join our research group and participate in the construction of scientific apparatus.

The specific work involves: high-energy neutrino physics, performance expectation of HUNT, GPU parallelization, detector development, prototype performance evaluation and scheme optimization.

Received undergraduate and doctoral degrees from University of Science and Technology of China. Since then, I have been working in the Institute of High Energy Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. In January 2020, I was promoted to professor. When I was a graduate student, I participated in the KamLAND experiment. During my postdoctoral period, I was a visiting scientist at UCLA (December 2007-March 2009), and on behalf of the DayaBay neutrino experiment, I was responsible for the batch performance test of 8-inch photomultiplier tubes.

I am the director of the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) in the LHAASO experiment. In January, 2021, I led the team to complete the field construction of WCDA, which is the most sensitive very-high-energy gamma ray survey device in the world. WCDA has observed the whole process of GRB221009A, the brightest gamma burst in history, and collected more than 60,000 photons, which shows that WCDA is an international leading facility with excellent performance.

At present, I am leading the team to detect the high-energy neutrinos associated with the ultra-high-energy gamma-ray source discovered by LHAASO, and have made phased progress in Lake Baikal and the South China Sea.
