Wei Xue

Wei Xue is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Florida and a member of the Institute for Fundamental Theory (IFT). His office is located in the Nuclear Physics Building (NPB). His research group focuses on High Energy Theory, particularly particle physics, cosmology, and astroparticle physics, with an emphasis on dark matter phenomenology.

His research investigates dark matter through multiple approaches: particle physics (utilizing colliders like the LHC), cosmological model-building, and astrophysical observations. Key themes include axion dynamics, gravitational wave signatures, boson stars, and novel detection methods for sub-GeV dark matter.

Recent publications (2021–2025) demonstrate a strong focus on theoretical and phenomenological aspects of dark matter, including axion strings, gravitational particle production, boson star dynamics, and quantum computing applications. His work bridges collider physics, early-universe cosmology, and astroparticle detection strategies.

He leads the High Energy Theory research group at IFT, fostering collaboration in fundamental physics. No awards, grants, or student advisements are documented in the provided text.
