Yongbin Feng , Ph.D. Assistant Professor - High Energy Physics

about me

I have been part of the physics department and the APD lab at Texas Tech University (TTU) since August 2024. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Fermilab after completing my PhD at the University of Maryland. My research focuses on unraveling the mysteries of the universe through advanced detectors, algorithms, and software. At the APD lab, I mainly work on simulating detectors and developing reconstruction algorithms, utilizing both classical methods and machine learning. I am also interested in optimizing computing performance, particularly exploring the potential of heterogeneous computing resources like GPUs. Outside of research, I’m passionate about programming, AI advancements, and enjoy soccer and skiing.
