Wang Yifang (born February 1963 in the province of Jiangsu) is a Chinese elementary particle and accelerator physicists. He is director of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and known for contributions to neutrino physics, in particular his leading role (with Kam-Biu Luk) at Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment to determine the last unknown neutrino mixing angle θ 13 (see neutrino).[1]
After the bachelor's degree in physics at Nanjing University (1984) he was with Samuel CC Ting at the L3 experiment the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) of CERN . 1991 He worked on University of Florence, in 1992 and 1996 Laboratory for Nuclear Science of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 1996 to 2001 at the Stanford University . In 2001 he was back in China at IHEP as a professor and deputy director of the Centre for Experimentaphysik. In 2011 he was its director.[2]
He was awarded the Panofsky Prize (shared with Kam-Biu Luk) in 2014[3] and the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2016, again with Kam-Biu Luk, as the leader of Daya Bay Team of China.[4]
He currently (since 2014) heads the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Southern China leading the experiment in an effect to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy with neutrinos from nuclear reactors.
