Prof. Liang Li received B.S. in physics from Peking (Beijing) University (PKU) and entered the graduate school of University of Wisconsin-Madison at the physics department in 1999. He conducted his Ph.D. dissertation research at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Hamburg, Germany) at the ZEUS experiment of the HERA Collider and received his Ph.D. in high energy physics in 2005. Later he moved to the Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL, USA) and worked on the D0 experiment of the Tevatron Collider as a postdoctoral scholar. He was promoted to be a research faculty of University of California, Riverside in 2010. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) as a Distinguished Research Fellow and principal investigator in 2012 and became a tenured professor of physics in 2020.
Prof. Li co-founded the Collider Physics Group at SJTU in 2012. He leads the SJTU g-2 research group working on the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment and J-PARC g-2/EDM experiment. He is also a deputy leader of the SJTU ATLAS group working on the Higgs physics and top quark physics research programs with the ATLAS experiment at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)'s LHC (Large Hadron Collider). His work has contributed substantially to major ATLAS results, including the observation of Higgs boson production in association with a top quark pair (ttH), the observation of four-top-quark production, and searches for Higgs boson pair production in multi-lepton final states. As the leading PI of the SJTU team, Prof. Li has made major contributions to the Fermilab Muon g−2 Experiment, including its landmark results published in 2021 (Science's 2021 Breakthrough), 2023, and 2025 (Science's 2025 Breakthrough). He has held major scientific and organizational leadership roles in the Muon g-2 Collaboration, including serving on the Executive Board, Publication Committee and Speakers Committee (rotating chair). He has also developed interdisciplinary approaches that apply machine learning, large-scale scientific computing and data-driven methods to problems in particle physics and astroparticle physics.
During his time at the Tevatron era, Prof. Li played a leading role in the D0 team who discovered the existence of the single top quark in March, 2009 (one of Tevatron's Milestones). He served as a convenor of D0 Single Top Working Group and co-led various top quark physics sub-groups such as Top Quark Precision Measurements and Top Quark Properties groups. He also co-led both D0 Trigger Group and Trigger Board.
Prof. Li received 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, as a member of the ATLAS Collaboration.
Prof. Li received 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, as a member of the Fermilab Muon g-2 Collaboration.
