About Xiao
My current research focuses on searching for new physics with neutrino experiments. I am passionate about expanding our knowledge beyond the standard model, in particular, aimed at explaining puzzles like where does the neutrino mass come from, or what could be the dark matter, etc. I am also interested in aliens and understanding how conscious formed.
