ZhimingLi's research focuses on high-energy physics experiments and phenomenology. In recent years, he has concentrated on investigating the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram and the critical points of phase transitions through both experimental work and phenomenological theory. Using data from the RHIC/STAR Beam Energy Scan program, he measured intermittency and worked on analyzing and exploring the high-order moments and intermittency properties observed, employing phenomenological theoretical models. More recently, he has applied machine learning and topological data analysis techniques to examine the topological features of QCD phase transitions. He has led two National Natural Science Foundation projects and contributed significantly to two National Natural Science Foundation key projects and national key research and development initiatives. He has published nearly 40 papers in prominent academic journals, including Physics Letters B, Physical Review C, Physical Review D, and Chinese Physics C. He has also presented at over 30 academic conferences both in China and internationally.
