Research highlights

Typically, the group members participate in 2-3 projects supported by Sientific Foundations. There are also special prozes and awards for PhD students from the Institute for Nuclear Research.

The group has scientific relations (collaborations, visits, etc) with theory divisions of EPFL (Lausanne), Manchester University, ULB (Brussels), ETH (Zurich), Munich University, Praga University.

Supervisor’s research interests

• Astroparticle physics and cosmology (dark matter models, inflation and reheating, baryogenesis)
• Physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics (supersymetry, grand unification, hidden sectors, etc)
• Quantum field theory
• Neutrino physics
