Gravity & the Extreme Universe
About
My research The Extreme Universe opens up the possibility of studying particles with supra-anthropic energies. I am interested in studying neutrinos produced in some of the most violent processes in the Universe. I study these neutrinos in search of new physics. I am searching for phenomena associated with the unknown mechanism responsible for generating neutrino masses and physics connected with quantum gravity. To make this possible, I aim to develop novel techniques to reconstruct the detected neutrino properties in existing neutrino telescopes, develop new neutrino telescope proposals, and improve the modeling of astrophysical neutrino sources.
