Shuaixiang (Shu) Zhang     张帅祥

I am a PhD student (since fall of 2020) at Department of Physics of Indiana University, advised by Prof. Jon Urheim.

Currently I am involved in DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Exmperiment), which is hosted by Fermilab. Specifically, I work on the PDS (Photon Detecion System) of protoDUNEs (prototypes of DUNE), located at CERN. My interests are mainly at analysis, simulation as well as a little hardware work.

Prior to Indiana University, I obtained my B.S. from Department of Modern Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) [2016 - 2020]. (Download my CV)

Updates

  • [Apr 5, 2025]   I will go to Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) this May and return until the end of October 2025 (5.5 months). During my stay there, I will work with Wilson Fellow Linyan on my Michel electron studies based on protoDUNE-HD.

  • [Apr 3, 2025]   It is my honor to receive the URA Visiting Scholars award for the spring round! The title of my proposal is "DUNE Far Detector Scintillation Photon Response Studies Based on Data from the ProtoDUNE Detectors". So many thanks to my advisor Jon, Fermilab scientist Linyan, as well as our IU staff Laura!

  • [Feb 26, 2025]   I participated in the NP04 PDS Performance Article Workshop (24 - 26 Feb 2025 @ Valencia, Spain). Contributed to the "physics applications" session with my Michel electron result. Further analysis is required and sincerely hope the paper will come into shape soon!

  • [Feb 7, 2025]   I participated in the DUNE LArTPC Software & Analysis Workshop (LArSAW2025) (3 - 7 Feb 2025 @ CERN). Nice lectures! Better understanding and mastering of LArTPC (PDS & TPC) achieved!

  • [Jan 30, 2025]   I made two presentations during the DUNE Jan 2025 CM: The first is titled as Computable Graph Module for Full-size FDHD, illustrating the preliminary training of fast optical simulation module for FD1. The second is Michel Eletron Selection on protoDUNE-HD, containing the photon yield estimation of Michel electron, particle gun simulation, selection on PDHD MC production, as well as Michel finding on PDHD real data.
