About Us

Astroparticle and Particle Physics Group

Our group studies physics beyond the standard model, in particular within the context of supersymmetric models. Our research includes neutrino physics, Higgs physics, dark matter and dark energy. We focus on phenomenology, searching for signals of new physics using, LHC, dark matter, and neutrino experiments. Check some of our work here.
