Research Interests
My research interests lie in the branch of Theoretical Particle Physics and,
in particular, in the areas of neutrino physics and physics beyond the
standard model. Of special interest for the past decade has been the
subject of quark, and more recently, charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices
which can shed some light on the basic Yukawa mass-generating mechanism for
the quarks and leptons. For this purpose, grand unified models based on
SO(10) symmetry are being studied, in collaboration with S.M. Barr from
Bartol Research Institute, which make use of a small number of Higgs
representations.
Much of this theoretical research has been carried out by the author as a
User associated with the Theory Group at the nearby Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.
