Since
April
2008 I
am a
professor
for elementary particle physics theory at TU Dresden, leading a
newly established group, called "elementary particle
physics
phenomenology".
Before I came to Dresden, I was a Lecturer in the Particle Theory
group at Glasgow University, a SUPA fellow in the Particle
Theory group at the University of
Edinburgh, and I had positions at the
IPPP
in
Durham, DESY Theory
Hamburg,
and
the
Institute
for
Theoretical
Physics
in Karlsruhe.
My
research
areas
are
supersymmetry phenomenology, the muon
magnetic
moment,
and the quantum structure of supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric field theories.
News: PhD positions in particle theory/phenomenology available in the 'Graduiertenkolleg Masse, Spektrum, Symmetrie', and in the DFG project "Anomalous magnetic moment of the muon - precision analysis in supersymmetric models". Further Diploma and PhD theses available in all topics discussed below.
*Phenomenology is the branch of particle theory where theoretical ideas and models are developed to the point where they can actually be compared with experiment. This involves a thorough understanding of underlying theoretical concepts and of the virtues and flaws of different extensions of the Standard Model as well as the identification of crucial observables and the development of precise computational techniques.
