Dr Xianguo Lu
My name is Xianguo, or phonetically Sam for short (full Chinese name 卢显国, click here for Mandarin Chinese pronunciation). I am an Assistant Professor of Experimental Neutrino Physics studying the elementary particle neutrinos.
I got my BSc from Peking University (北京大学, 2007), Diplom-Physiker from the University of Hamburg (2009), and Dr. rer. nat. under Prof. Johanna Stachel from the University of Heidelberg (2013). I was a postdoc in heavy-ion physics at the University of Heidelberg, and then in neutrino physics at the University of Oxford. In 2016-2019, I was a Stipendiary Lecturer in Physics at Pembroke College Oxford. In 2019 I became an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and a faculty member of the Physics Department in Oxford, and a Senior Research Fellow at Pembroke. I moved to Warwick in 2021 and am now building my group in this vibrant place. If you are interested in joining me, please follow the link to a brief introduction to my research program.
I am an unambitious but regular runner, having run more than 500 kilometres (and counting) in 2021. I particularly enjoy running during my travel. The following are some of my memorable moments before COVID-19:
- 5 km Île de la Cité-Île Saint-Louis, Paris, France, July 2019,
- 5 km in Venice, Italy, June 2019,
- 12 km in Central Park, New York, US, July 2018, and
- 10 km around Lake Senba, Mito, Japan, February 2018.
