Prof. Tao Han (he/him/his): Season 2 Episode 9

<p>Season 2 Episode 9</p> <p>I am a theoretical particle physicist, specializing in collider phenomenology, a theoretical branch that builds the bridge between theory and experimental observations. To explore new physics beyond the Standard Model, I formulate theoretical models and predict observables at colliders as well as at low energy experiments. The topics I have been interested in include Higgs boson physics, searching for dark matter, examining neutrino mass generation models. I closely collaborate with my colleagues in theory and experiments. Since 2019, I have been involved in organizing the community planning exercise, a.k.a. "Snowmass 2021", led by APS DPF. The particle physics &nbsp;community comes together to identify fundamental questions in the field and the opportunities to address. &nbsp;The Snowmass exercise is very important for our field in the next decay and beyond. The final community meeting will take place in July 17-26, 2022, at the University of Washington-Seattle. &nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu/people/tao-han</p> <p>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student <a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bryan Stanley</a> (he/him/his) and Prof. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Huey-Wen Lin</a> (she/her).
