Tao Han

Tao Han is a Distinguished Professor of High Energy Physics at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Department of Physics & Astronomy within the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on elementary particle physics phenomenology, bridging theoretical models with experimental observations at high-energy colliders like the LHC and proposed facilities such as the CEPC and muon collider.

He holds a PhD and has extensive postdoctoral experience, including a notable affiliation with Joshua Berger. His academic leadership includes advising graduate students such as Barmak Shams Es Haghi and Hongkai Liu. Han teaches courses ranging from introductory physics to specialized graduate topics like Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Collider Physics.

Key research interests include Higgs boson physics, dark matter, neutrino mass generation, and quantum information applications in particle physics. He actively contributes to international initiatives like the Muon Collider Collaboration and Snowmass reports, shaping global particle physics strategy. His work often explores new physics beyond the Standard Model through precision measurements at upcoming colliders.

Notable collaborations involve CEPC technical design reports and muon collider feasibility studies. Han's research also extends to electroweak symmetry restoration, Bell nonlocality in particle decays, and flavor physics implications. His team participates in designing detectors and analysis techniques for future collider experiments.
