Prof. Bo-Wen Xiao (born in June, 1981) studied at Beijing University, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in 2003. He completed his PhD at Columbia University in 2008. He then served as a post-doc at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 2008 to 2010 and at the Pennsylvania State University from 2010 to 2012. In 2012, he was selected as one of the 1000 Talent Plan Young Scientist in China. Since 2012 he has been a professor at Central China Normal University. He was also a visiting research scientist at the Ecole Polytechnique (2017, 2018) in France.
Among other subjects in high energy nuclear physics, Dr. Xiao studied the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at extremely high densities, small-x physics, jets in heavy ion collisions and AdS/CFT correspondence. With collaborators, he also contributed to some analytical solutions to relativistic hydrodynamics equations.
