Rate My Professor Hang Yin

Hang Yin is a Professor and doctoral supervisor in the School of Physics and Technology at Central China Normal University. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Shandong Normal University in 2005 and his PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2010. Between 2010 and 2015, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States, participating in the D0 experiment on the Tevatron collider. In 2015, selected for the National High-Level Talent Youth Project, he joined Central China Normal University's LHCb experiment team full-time and was promoted to Professor in 2017. He has held prominent roles such as convener of the D0 Electroweak Physics group from 2012 to 2014, convener of the LHCb Electroweak and Top Quark Physics subgroup from 2017 to 2019, and currently serves as convener of the QEE (QCD, Electroweak and Exotica) physics group in the LHCb international collaboration at CERN from 2023 to 2025.

Professor Yin's research centers on high-energy experimental physics, with emphasis on precision electroweak measurements and charge-parity violation in heavy flavor physics, particularly bottom mesons, utilizing LHCb and D0 experiment data. As lead author, he has published five papers in Physical Review Letters and two in Physical Review D, accumulating over 100 citations, and co-authored more than 400 papers in international journals. Key contributions include the 2017 double-charm baryon discovery, recognized among China's Top 10 Scientific Advances; the first LHC Z boson mass measurement published in Physical Review Letters; and leadership in B meson CP violation studies resulting in a 2026 Physical Review Letters publication. In 2026, he co-authored a Nature commentary on CMS W boson mass measurements. His research has been highlighted nearly ten times in Fermilab Today and in CERN newsletters, impacting proton parton distribution function determinations. He has given over ten invited reports at international conferences and leads projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology.
