My research program is focused on two unresolved problems in elementary particle physics. The first problem is concerned with one of the four fundamental forces of nature, the Electroweak force, and its behavior at high energies. The second problem is whether the dark matter seen in astronomical and astrophysical observations is a new fundamental particle, a new form of matter. Curiously, both problems have their origins in the 1930's with Enrico Fermi's theory of beta decay and Fritz Zwicky's observation of the Coma cluster. More importantly, both problems may usher us into phenomena beyond the extremely successful Standard Model.

我的研究计划集中在基本粒子物理学中两个悬而未决的问题上。第一个问题涉及到四种自然力中的一种，弱电及其在高能下的行为。第二个问题是，在天文和天体物理观测中看到的暗物质是否是一种新的基本粒子，一种新的物质形式。奇怪的是，这两个问题都起源于1930年的S，恩里科·费米的β衰变理论和弗里茨·兹维基对昏迷星团的观察。更重要的是，这两个问题可能会把我们带入极其成功的标准模型之外的现象。
