My research interests mostly evolves around unconventional and topological superconductors with a certain focus on fluctuation-induced phases and their properties.

Analysis of space satellite measurements near Earth or in the solar wind

My primary research interest is the theoretical study of new effects of electron-electron interaction in modern low-dimensional systems with strong spin-orbit coupling. These include quantum wires, two-dimensional heterostructures, and atomically thin layers. Such systems are interesting because of the interplay of the Coulomb forces between electrons and the forces that couple the spin of the electron to its orbital motion that results in the…

I collaborate in experiments to determine the characteristics of the fundamental forces in Nature with an emphasis on the properties of neutral, leptonic elementary particles known as neutrinos. I also study very high energy cosmic rays which are incident on the earth from outer space to determine their nature and origin. A long-term interest is non-thermal stars as a possible source of cosmic radiation.

I teach introductory physics courses with…

My research focuses on the physics of the Large Hadron Collider and the tools and techniques required to make the most of the data produced at the collider.

My major physics interests at the moment include

• Searches for heavy right-handed neutrinos and heavy right-handed W bosons from a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model
• Searches for the Higgs boson, particularly in its decays to pairs of Z bosons
• …

My research focuses on the physics of the earliest stages of the Universe and of the highest energies. In particular, I am interested in experiments that probe content and properties of the Universe today, and that can shed light on the evolution of the Universe and on the physics at high energy scales. I work on two such experiments.
