Mengjiao Xiao

Mengjiao Xiao is an associate professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, affiliated with the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics. Her research focuses on experimental particle physics, particularly in the areas of dark matter direct and indirect detection, and neutrino physics. She has participated in several international collaborations, including the PandaX dark matter experiment, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), and the GAPS Antarctic balloon experiment. She is currently recruiting undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students interested in experimental particle physics.

Mengjiao Xiao is a professor specializing in High Energy Physics, with a focus on Dark Matter Detection and Neutrino Physics. Her research involves experimental investigations into dark matter interactions, particularly through the PandaX experiment series, including PandaX-II and PandaX-4T. She has contributed to significant results in dark matter searches, such as setting limits on weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon cross sections and exploring spin-dependent interactions. Her work also includes studies on neutrino scattering and cosmic-ray antinuclei, aiming to uncover new physics beyond the Standard Model. Xiao's research emphasizes direct detection methods and the use of liquid xenon as a target material for dark matter experiments.
