Welcome to the High-Energy Physics and Theoretical Physics Group

High-energy physics is the branch of physics that deals with the fundamental forces and constituents of matter in our universe. Although traditionally encompassing the domains of particle physics and quantum field theory, it strongly overlaps with general relativity and cosmology today.

We are a small but active group in the Physics Department, consisting of three faculty members and around seven (MSc & Phd) graduate students. Our work spans diverse areas of theoretical high-energy physics and multi-particle phenomenology, ranging from gauge theories and integrable models to black holes and string theory and cosmology. We also maintain close links with our counterparts in the Quantum Information Group and the Mathematics Department.
