Jiji Fan

Jiji Fan is an Associate Professor of Physics at Brown University, where she has been since 2015. Previously, she was an assistant professor at Syracuse University (2013–2015), and held postdoctoral positions at Harvard University (2012–2013) and Princeton University (2009–2012). She received her Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics from Yale University in 2009 under the supervision of Witold Skiba.

Her research focuses on theoretical particle physics, astro-particle physics, and cosmology. This includes constructing novel dark matter models and their observational signatures, exploring cosmological probes (e.g., early universe phenomena) of fundamental particle physics, and studying the properties of the Higgs boson alongside collider experiments to uncover new physics beyond the Standard Model. Her work combines theoretical model building with numerical data analysis.

Advising and grants are not detailed in the provided text, but her academic trajectory reflects sustained engagement with high-energy physics research. No specific labs or teams are mentioned in the text.
