Summary
Hengne Li is a particle physicist and professor with 12 years of experience leading experimental high-energy physics analyses and a current appointment as head of the LHCb group at South China Normal University. He has a strong track record in precision measurements and large-data searches from roles at University of Virginia, LPSC Grenoble and LAL Orsay, including contributions to Higgs and W-boson measurements and detector calibration on multi-petabyte datasets. Skilled in data-driven modeling and bespoke analysis tools, he originated methods for pileup/recoil modeling, efficiency fitting, and a binned kernel estimation used broadly in analyses. Comfortable bridging research and mentorship, he has co-led analysis teams, supervised PhD students to completion, and communicated results in high-impact journals. Based in Ferney-Voltaire, France, he combines deep experimental expertise with practical software and statistical tool development that informs collider design and precision measurements.
