My research in theoretical particle physics is mostly concerned with physics beyond the Standard Model, typically in an effort to solve some of the currently open problems such as neutrino masses and dark matter, or to generally aid the search for new elementary particles. My current research interests can be found under Publications and Presentations. Below is an old (~2020) mind map of mine that highlights some of my favorite topics and their connections, as well as some of my relevant publications.
