Theoretical Particle Physics

Our research group is funded through an SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship, which is split between the UZH Physik-Institut and Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) as hosts.

The research of our group is focused on indirect searches for physics beyond the Standard Model and the theoretical challenges at the precision frontier: these concern the model-independent description of non-perturbative effects due to the strong interaction at low energies as well as higher-order perturbative effects that can be described within effective field theories.

Our current research activity is mainly motivated by experimental progress at the low-energy precision frontier, such as searches for CP- or lepton-flavor-violating observables and the improved measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
