Research Interests

• Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics
  • Models of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, including supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and extended gauge/global symmetries at the TeV scale.
  • Collider Phenomenology: searches for new physics at the Tevatron, LHC, and beyond.
• Cosmological Applications of Particle Physics: dark matter, dark energy, inflation.

Publications etc.

• My CV (including publications list): ps / pdf
• My papers from SPIRES database.
• "In search of Hidden Dimensions" -- a Physical Review Focus article summarizing some of my research on extra dimensions for general audience.
