Neutrino Experiments
Research Abstract
I am a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University of California, Irvine. My primary research interests are in Intensity Frontier programs. Currently I am working on neutrino experiments NOvA, DUNE, FLArE and Super-Kamiokande.
NOvA is a long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment that is optimized for electron neutrino measurements. It uses the upgraded NuMI beam from Fermilab and measures electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance at its Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota. The NOvA experiment aims to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy problem and to constrain the CP-violating phase.
DUNE is the next generation long-baseline experiment in the US which will decisively determine the mass hierarchy and CP violation. DUNE detectors are based on liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, which offers excellent spatial resolution, high neutrino detection efficiency and superb background rejection. DUNE’s prototype detectors protoDUNE-SP and protoDUNE-DP have been taking data at CERN since 2018 .
FLArE is a planed forward liquid argon experiment for high energy neutrino and dark matter searches at Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It will be located in the proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), 620 m from the ATLAS interaction point in the far-forward direction, and will collect data during the High-Luminosity LHC era from 2028-37.
Super-Kamiokande is the large water Cherenkov detector in Japan. Physics topics of the Super-Kamiokande experiment includes solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, man-made neutrinos and proton decays.
Alongside simulation, data analysis, and hardware development in the aforementioned experiments, my group is committed to applying state-of-the-art deep learning technologies to neutrino experiments. We have pioneered the use of deep learning for neutrino kinematic reconstruction (e.g., particle energy, direction, vertex, etc.), Bayesian learning for neutrino oscillation parameter inference, and transformers (the foundation of ChatGPT) for neutrino flavor tagging and final-state particle identification.
I hold leadership roles in AI/ML for both the DUNE and NOvA experiments to coordinate AI/ML activities in these experiments, serving as the founding co-chair of the DUNE AI/ML Forum Committee and as convener of NOvA’s Reconstruction and Deep Learning group. In parallel, I serve as Team Leader of the purity monitoring system at DUNE, a critical detector subsystem ensuring liquid-argon quality for the experiment’s operation and physics program.
Current research topics in my group
(1) Neutrino oscillation analyses to solve for Mass Ordering and CP violation
(2) Neutrino-electron elastic scattering measurements to constrain neutrino fluxes
(3) Deep learning based neutrino reconstruction technology at DUNE and NOvA
(4) Statistical tools in neutrino data analysis
(5) R&D and fabrication of DUNE's liquid argon purity monitors
(6) Liquid argon recirculation and purification technologies
(7) Cold electronics for liquid argon time projection chamber detectors
(8) Detector design and simulation for the FLArE experiment
(9) Calibration and data analysis of DUNE's prototype protoDUNE at CERN.
In addition to physics students and postdoc, my group has several students from UCI computer science and statistics departments who are working on deep-learning algorithms and the statistical tools for neutrino reconstruction and analysis.
Before joining UCI, I was also deeply involved in the very topical search for exotic-hadron states and other studies of charm and charmonium physics in collider experiments. I have been the lead researcher for several important analyses with the BESIII experiment in Beijing, including being the primary author of the discovery of a new four-quark candidate Zc(3900)^0.

NOvA is a long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment that is optimized for electron neutrino measurements. It uses the upgraded NuMI beam from Fermilab and measures electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance at its Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota. The NOvA experiment aims to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy problem and to constrain the CP-violating phase.
DUNE is the next generation long-baseline experiment in the US which will decisively determine the mass hierarchy and CP violation. DUNE detectors are based on liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, which offers excellent spatial resolution, high neutrino detection efficiency and superb background rejection. DUNE’s prototype detectors protoDUNE-SP and protoDUNE-DP have been taking data at CERN since 2018 .
FLArE is a planed forward liquid argon experiment for high energy neutrino and dark matter searches at Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It will be located in the proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), 620 m from the ATLAS interaction point in the far-forward direction, and will collect data during the High-Luminosity LHC era from 2028-37.
Super-Kamiokande is the large water Cherenkov detector in Japan. Physics topics of the Super-Kamiokande experiment includes solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, man-made neutrinos and proton decays.
Alongside simulation, data analysis, and hardware development in the aforementioned experiments, my group is committed to applying state-of-the-art deep learning technologies to neutrino experiments. We have pioneered the use of deep learning for neutrino kinematic reconstruction (e.g., particle energy, direction, vertex, etc.), Bayesian learning for neutrino oscillation parameter inference, and transformers (the foundation of ChatGPT) for neutrino flavor tagging and final-state particle identification.
I hold leadership roles in AI/ML for both the DUNE and NOvA experiments to coordinate AI/ML activities in these experiments, serving as the founding co-chair of the DUNE AI/ML Forum Committee and as convener of NOvA’s Reconstruction and Deep Learning group. In parallel, I serve as Team Leader of the purity monitoring system at DUNE, a critical detector subsystem ensuring liquid-argon quality for the experiment’s operation and physics program.
Current research topics in my group
(1) Neutrino oscillation analyses to solve for Mass Ordering and CP violation
(2) Neutrino-electron elastic scattering measurements to constrain neutrino fluxes
(3) Deep learning based neutrino reconstruction technology at DUNE and NOvA
(4) Statistical tools in neutrino data analysis
(5) R&D and fabrication of DUNE's liquid argon purity monitors
(6) Liquid argon recirculation and purification technologies
(7) Cold electronics for liquid argon time projection chamber detectors
(8) Detector design and simulation for the FLArE experiment
(9) Calibration and data analysis of DUNE's prototype protoDUNE at CERN.
In addition to physics students and postdoc, my group has several students from UCI computer science and statistics departments who are working on deep-learning algorithms and the statistical tools for neutrino reconstruction and analysis.
Before joining UCI, I was also deeply involved in the very topical search for exotic-hadron states and other studies of charm and charmonium physics in collider experiments. I have been the lead researcher for several important analyses with the BESIII experiment in Beijing, including being the primary author of the discovery of a new four-quark candidate Zc(3900)^0.
