Research Interests
I am interested in finding and analyzing theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. My past and current areas of active research include:
- Supersymmetric gauge theories. I study theories of dynamical SUSY breaking and metastability, dualities and nonperturbative results, and model building with a focus on gauge mediation. I am also interested in magnetic monopoles and applying Seiberg Witten methods to N=1 theories.
- Collider Phenomenology at the LHC and beyond. I am particularly interested in methods of measuring masses and mixings at hadron colliders, and am currently working on the problem of measuring the endpoints of kinematic variables without bias with high levels of combinatorics background.
- Electroweak Baryogenesis, how it can constrain models of BSM physics and make predictions at colliders.
- Models with (warped) extra dimensions, which can offer novel electroweak symmetry breaking mechanisms and allow us to investigate strongly coupled 4D CFTs via the AdS/CFT duality.
