Lanqing Yuan is an experimental astroparticle physicist, focusing on the direct detection of dark matter.
His current research focuses on developing and applying quantum sensors to detect light (~MeV) dark matter particles and wave-like (~meV) dark matter, including axions. During his PhD, he served as a leading detector response analyst and analysis tool developer for the XENONnT dark matter experiment. In this role, he co-led the first search for light dark matter in the neutrino fog—the ultimate background for dark matter direct detection—and made major contributions to WIMP searches and new physics searches in low-energy electronic recoil events.
