Background and Research Interests:
I am currently a Professor in the C.N. Yang Insititute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University. I joined the YITP in 2009 after having completed my PhD in high energy theoretical physics from Cornell University in 2006 and spending time as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and the Institute for Advanced Study. My research interests are focused mainly on physics beyond the Standard Model. I am interested in both phenomenological and theoretical aspects of new physics. Some recently investigated topics include Baryogenesis, Collider Physics, Dark Matter, Flavor Physics, Supersymmetry, Thermal QFTs, and QCD resummation. In general, I am mostly interested in developing and applying Quantum Field Theory techniques to understand our universe. I am also interested in current or future experiments that may elucidate the properties of the universe, for example this talk I gave about future high-energy lepton colliders as a part of the Snowmass process.
The YITP has vibrant programs in both formal and phenomenological theory, and we have close connections to the Physics Department, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. With the support of the YITP and SCGP we hosted a major LHC workhsop (SEARCH), that is part of a series of workhsops I have organized with Michele Papucci and Raman Sundrum.
My research has been supported by the NSF as co-PI of NSF grant PHY-0653354, PI of the NSF CAREER award PHY-1056833, NSF award PHY-1620628, and most recently by PHY-1915093.
As part of my research in the past, I devloped a monte carlo tool in collaboration with Matt Reece for simulating particle decays BRIDGE
