Hanyu Wei is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Louisiana State University's Department of Physics & Astronomy, part of the College of Science. His research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, particularly neutrino experiments such as MicroBooNE, SBND, and the upcoming DUNE. He develops the Wire-Cell reconstruction paradigm for liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs), enhancing neutrino event analysis and physics capabilities. His work includes cross-section measurements, sterile neutrino searches, and nucleon decay studies. Previously, he contributed to the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment, achieving precise θ13 mixing angle measurements and designing a supernova trigger system. He also explores supernova relic neutrino detection at the Jinping experiment.
