About

My research focuses on the theory and phenomenology of elementary particle physics and cosmology beyond the Standard Model, including supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and technicolor, along with their connections to Dark Matter.

See the list of my publications: theoretical papers and experimental papers.

Additionally, see a list of some available projects for PhD students.

Building on my previous studies of various supersymmetric models, I have expanded my exploration to other theories that explain Dark Matter phenomena, including extra-dimensional theories and those involving dynamical symmetry breaking, such as Technicolor. I am also leading a project that connects collider and cosmological exploration of various Dark Matter models, which I believe will establish a solid foundation for uncovering the underlying theory.

In 2021, I co-authored The Basics of Nuclear and Particle Physics  with Prof. Douglas Ross, a textbook aimed at advancing students' knowledge of nuclear and particle physics for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students.

A few additional details about my background.

I has been working in close contact with experimental collaborations: I am the former member of DØ collaboration at  Fermilab (1996-2004) and presently I am the full member of the CMS collaboration at CERN since 2007.

I am one of three developers of the CalcHEP package which was created  to enable one to go directly from the Lagrangian to the cross sections and distributions effectively, with a high level of automation. The package can be compiled on any Unix platform.

In 2011 I have pioneered High Energy Physics Model Database (HEPMDB) project which was created to facilitate connection between High Energy theory and experiment, and it is a tool to store and validate theoretical models. The goal is to provide a dictionary of model signatures, cutting down calculation times thus enhancing productivity within the field of Particle Physics.

I am one of the three developers of the CalcHEP package, designed to automate the transition from Lagrangians to cross sections and distributions efficiently. The package is compatible with any Unix platform.

In 2011, I pioneered the High Energy Physics Model Database (HEPMDB) project, which facilitates the connection between high-energy theory and experiment by storing and validating theoretical models. Its goal is to create a dictionary of model signatures, significantly reducing calculation times and enhancing productivity within particle physics.
