Xing Wu

Xing Wu is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Michigan State University (MSU) and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Their research focuses on precision molecular spectroscopy and fundamental symmetry testing, particularly through the development of innovative techniques for molecular beam manipulation using centrifugal force and quantum sensors.

• Education: Undergraduate studies in Singapore, followed by a Master's and PhD in Munich, Germany, at the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.

Research Interests span precision measurement, quantum technology, and atomic and molecular physics. Wu pioneered the use of centrifugal deceleration to stop molecular beams and contributed to the most precise bounds on the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) using cold Thorium Monoxide molecules. Current work involves integrating rare isotope resources at FRIB with advanced quantum sensors and laser physics to push fundamental symmetry tests further.

Publications highlight advancements in silicon photomultiplier modules, magnetic field control, electrostatic lenses, and buffer gas beam sources, all aimed at improving the ACME III experiment's precision. These studies emphasize quantum metrology, detector technology, and high-vacuum systems.
