Short presentation
I am professor of theoretical physics and do research on particle and astroparticle physics: beyond the Standard Model, Higgs, cosmology, high energy neutrinos.
I teach Advanced Quantum Mechanics and Symmetry and Group Theory. I earlier taught introductory Mechanics in the bachelor program, Advanced particle physics, Mechanics II and III, introductory quantum mechanics and a PhD student course on particle theory.
I am also head of the Division of High Energy Physics.
Biography
I came to Uppsala in 2009 after doing postdocs at École Polytechnique in Paris, Berkeley Lab & UC Berkeley in Berkeley, California, and The University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. I got my PhD from Uppsala in 2003.
The best way to see what I am working on is to look at my list of publications from INSPIRE HEP.
