Rate My Professor Juijen Wang

Wang's research centers on experimental particle physics, specifically developing detector techniques for direct dark matter detection to discover and understand dark matter, which constitutes about 25% of the Universe's mass. His work involves research and development of liquid noble gas and liquid scintillator detectors, including characterization and data analysis. He participates in the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment using a dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber and liquid scintillator outer detector, as well as veto detectors for future dark matter and neutrino experiments. Group projects include LZ efforts at SURF and water-based liquid scintillator R&D. Wang has co-authored key publications such as "First dark matter search results from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment" (2022), "The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment" (2020), "A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics" (2023), "Dark Matter Search Results from ... of Exposure of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment" (2025), and "Measurement of ν-electron scattering cross section with a CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal array at the Kuo-Sheng nuclear power reactor" (2010). These contributions advance dark matter detection technologies.
