Research Interests

I am interested in what particle physics can tell us about the early universe and vice versa. Some of the questions that I work on are:

• What is the dark matter that makes up the majority of mass in the universe? How is it produced and how can it be detected?
• How are neutrino masses generated? Are there observable consequences of this mechanism?
• Why is there more matter than antimatter? How can this asymmetry arise in the early universe?

In each case I study modifications of the Standard Model that include new particles and interactions, examining their consistency against existing observations and designing ways of testing them in the future. For a complete list of my papers see INSPIRE or arXiv.
