Abstract
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was designed to measure $\theta_{13}$, the smallest mixing
angle in the three-neutrino mixing framework, with unprecedented precision. The experiment
consists of eight identically designed detectors placed underground at different baselines from
three pairs of nuclear reactors in South China. Since Dec. 2011, the experiment has been running stably for more than 7 years, and has collected the largest reactor anti-neutrino sample to
date. Daya Bay greatly improved the precision on$\theta_{13}$ and made an independent measurement of
the effective mass splitting in the electron antineutrino disappearance channel. Daya Bay also
performed a number of other precise measurements, such as a high-statistics determination of the
absolute reactor antineutrino flux and spectrum evolution, as well as a search for sterile neutrino
mixing, among others. The most recent neutrino oscillation results from Daya Bay are discussed
