ICREA Research Professor at IFAE (Institut de Física d'Altes Energies). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

I defended my Ph.D. thesis at the University of Geneva on March 20th, 1975 and my supervisors were Prof. H. Ruegg (University of Geneva) and Prof. C. Itzykson (Centre de Physique Theorique de Saclay, Paris). Since then I had different positions at the University and at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). In particular before my ICREA position I tenured a Research Professorship at the "Instituto de Estructura de la Materia", Madrid (CSIC). During my scientific career I got contact with many researchers and Research Centers worldwide. In particular I have been Invited Professor and/or Guest Scientist often at: CERN (Geneva), Fermilab (USA), Universite de Pierre et Marie Curie, Ecole Normale Superieure, Universite d'Orsay and Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), University of Padua (Italy), International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (Italy), University of Ann Arbor (USA), University of California at Santa Cruz (USA), University of Noter Dame (USA),...

Research Interests

I am a particle theorist. This means that my research concerns the smallest particles that exist (e.g. quarks, leptons, photons, gluons and other gauge bosons) or might exist (e.g. Kaluza-Klein and string modes,...) as well as the Early Universe and its behavior (e.g. inflationary epoch, baryon generation, nucleosynthesis, large scale structure,...). The relevant theories must be contrasted with experimental data in particle accelerators and astrophysical observations, and this is the way that particle theorists can deduce the laws that govern our universe. As for particle accelerators the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), now operating at CERN, is the world's most powerful machine ever built and will provide an ultimate answer to many of the present open questions of particle physics. In 2011 LHC found the first evidences of the Higgs boson, an essential ingredient for all beyond the Standard Model theories.
