Kim-Siang was an invited guest at the first TDLI Career Planning Session. He shared his perspectives about how to choose a research topic, what are the most important points in a PhD journey, and the importance of not limiting one’s self when it comes to the research topic and the location of the research to be done (using KS’s journey as an example).

Kim-Siang presented a poster about our research activities to undergraduate students from Zhiyuan College for their visits to TDLI（致远学子走进李所活动）.
Tsung-Dao Lee Frontier Lecture and Special Seminar on Muon g-2
Kim-Siang Khaw gave a T.D. Lee Frontier Lecture and a Special Seminar about muon g-2. The first results from the Muon g-2 collaboration has generated lots of interests from the scientific community and the lecture + seminar series lasted for almost 4 hours in total.
First Results from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment
After almost three years of analyzing the Run 1 data taken in Spring 2018, our collaboration has published the first results for the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2) in a series of Physical Review papers.

TDLI Tea Time Discussion about “Precision Measurements and Fundamental Physics”.
Kim-Siang led a discussion about the topic “Precision Measurements and Fundamental Physics” at the Friday TDLI Tea Time of the new semester in 2021. Measurements such as electron g-factor, muon g-2, electron mass, fine structure constant were discussed and generated a lot of interests from the audience.
Dark SHINE Simulation and Analysis Workshop II
Our 2nd workshop on Simulation and Analysis for Dark SHINE was successfully held at the TDLI! Lots of impressive presentations were made by the students ranging from software framework to detector design and event reconstructions.
Joint Meeting 2020 of Shanghai Particle and Nuclear Physics Community
Kim-Siang presented on behalf of the SJTU Collider Physics Group at the 上海物理学会粒子物理与核物理专委会及上海核学会核物理专委会暨2020年度联合学术交流会. It is a good start to 2021 to be able to meet so many experts in Particle and Nuclear Physics in a nice conference venue.
TDLI Annual Meeting 2020
Kim-Siang reported progress of the group at the TDLI Annual Meeting 2020. Research activities have been hit hard by COVID19 but overall we have made progress in terms of team building (Postdoc, PhD, Master and Undergraduate Students), funding applications (won several grants), teaching activities (Thermal Physics, University Physics II – offline + online), etc. Hopefully 2021 will be an even better year!
Poster for MOE Key Laboratory
We have prepared a Muon g-2 poster for the Key Laboratory for Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology of Ministry of Education (粒子天体物理与宇宙学教育部重点实验室).
2020 EMuS & MOMENT General Meeting
Kim-Siang talked about Muon g-2/EDM experiments and their requirements to future muon sources at the 2020 EMuS & MOMENT General Meeting. It is the first step in fostering collaborations between Chinese institutions in Muon Physics. For more information, please visit https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/13295.
