Xiaoyue Li

Associate Research Scientist

Dr. Xiaoyue Li’s research interests focus on understanding the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the nature of dark matter. 

Li has worked on the T2K and DUNE experiments, and before joining TRIUMF, worked on a direct detection experiment called MADMAX that aims to search for QCD axions that could make up galactic dark matter. 

Li is currently involved in the Super-Kamiokande experiment and the upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande experiment, which is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Li’s work aims to improve the precision of neutrino measurements, especially in understanding how neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate differently. This includes developing more advanced detector calibration systems and analysis methods, using test beam data to improve our knowledge of neutrino interactions, and applying machine learning to make event reconstruction more accurate and reliable.
