General Information

Elementary particle and gravitational physicists are concerned with discovering the most fundamental constituents of matter and the laws governing their behavior.

In our research, we investigate several important questions:

  • What is the origin of mass?
  • What does dark matter consist of?
  • Are there extra dimensions?
  • Do supersymmetric particles exist?
  • Do all forces unify at ultra-high energy?
