Project

Faculty Member: Professor Rabi Mohapatra

Area of Research: Elementary Particle Theory

Description of Research Area
The ultimate goal of elementary particle physics is to understand the basic constituents of matter and their interactions in terms of an economical set of principles. This hope for unified understanding of natural laws, cherished by our early pioneers such as Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein, appears to have come very close to fulfillment during the past two decades with the discovery of unified gauge theories of fundamental interactions.

Research Interests:
·Particle Theory
·Neutrino Physics
·Astrophysics

Course and other Prerequisites:
·Knowledge of basic Quantum Mechanics is helpful.


Compensation:
Course Credit
