Rouven Essig
Welcome to my professional homepage.
I am a graduate student in the
Theoretical High Energy Physics group at Rutgers University
in Piscataway, New Jersey.
RESEARCH FOCUS
- Theoretical Particle Physics Beyond the Standard Model
- LHC Phenomenology
- Supersymmetry, Supersymmetry Breaking
- Dark Matter
My research interests span a diverse set of topics that may broadly be described
as theoretical particle physics beyond the standard model. It includes
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology, dark matter, the implications of
current experimental constraints on existing models for new physics, the
exploration of new ideas for the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, as well as
supersymmetry breaking and its mediation to the visible sector.
