Biographic Sketch:

Prof. Shusu Shi was awarded Ph. D. in physics by the Central China Normal University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2010 and then went to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2013-2015) as a postdoctoral fellow. He was appointed as a full professor at the Central China Normal University in 2017. He focuses on the experimental study of relativistic heavy ion collisions and achieved the following key results in recent years: it is proven that the partonic degree of freedom and charm quark collectivity have been reached in the top energy heavy ion collisions at RHIC by measurements of elliptic flow of multi-strange hadrons and neutral D mesons; results of elliptic flow from RHIC Beam Energy Scan program phase I suggest the partonic phase would not be achieved when the collision energy is lower than 20 GeV. He is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China and takes part in a 973 program as a key member. He served as the STAR council on the behalf of students and postdocs during 2009-2011 and on behalf of Central China Normal University since 2015. He was physics working group convener of the STAR collaboration during 2011-2014.
