Lian-Tao Wang is a professor of physics at the University of Chicago, affiliated with the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP Senior Member), and the College. He received his BS in Physics from Fudan University and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 2002. He joined the University of Chicago faculty in 2011 and was promoted to full professor. His research centres on theoretical particle physics phenomenology, focusing on physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV scale. Wang's key interests include supersymmetry, electroweak symmetry breaking, composite Higgs models, dark matter candidates, and their signatures at colliders such as the LHC and proposed future facilities. He also explores links to cosmology, including gravitational waves from the early universe, inflation, and dark sector physics. Wang has made significant contributions to Higgs physics, new physics searches, and the physics potential of future colliders. He is a recipient of the U.S. Department of Energy Outstanding Junior Investigator Award and has served on the advisory board of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (2017–2019) and as Chairman of the 2025 Science Committee for the Future Science Prize.
