This fund celebrates the life and accomplishments of Professor Mikhail Voloshin by providing fellowships for exceptional graduate students working in the field of high energy physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy.
Arpon Paul: "I work on high energy physics (theory), covering areas like physics beyond the Standard Model, axions, extra dimensions, and AdS-CFT holography. Currently, I am working with Prof. Tony Gherghetta on studying the 5D holographic phase transition in the early universe. The potential detection of gravitational wave signals originating from this phase transition renders this research highly relevant. Additionally, I am engaged in another project focused on the 5D holographic Majoron, proposed as a dark matter candidate arising from the spontaneous violation of lepton number symmetry."
2023 Voloshin Fellowship Recipients
Ting Gao
Ting is originally from from China. "My research interest is in particle phenomenology. So far I'm mainly working on physics related to CP violation, including EDMs within and beyond the Standard Model, and constraints on axions."
2022 Voloshin Fellowship Recipients
Chao-Hsiang Sheu
Chao-Hsiang is originally from Taiwan. He plans to use the fellowship to support his summer research in the area of chiral gauge theory. His research is focused on sigma models and nonperturbative properties of gauge theory.
