Jesse Liu

Jesse Liu is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the New York University College of Arts & Science, joining in Spring 2025. He collaborates with the ATLAS Experiment at CERN and leads the NYU Experimental Particle Physics group.

Research Interests: Liu's work bridges fundamental particle physics and detector innovation. He investigates

• Tau-lepton electromagnetic dipoles via photon collisions at the LHC
• High-luminosity LHC silicon tracker upgrades
• Dark matter searches through collider experiments and the BREAD axion detection project
• Cosmic ray physics using ATLAS data

Recent Publications focus on tau magnetic moment measurements, detector thermal stress mitigation, and cosmic ray signature analysis. His work has been featured in Phys. Rev. D, Phys. Rev. Lett., and JINST.

Outreach & Mentorship: Liu actively engages in public science communication through

• Pint of Science talks
• The Conversation articles
• School visits to CERN
• First-gen student mentorship at NYU CU*iP
