Maxim Perelstein

Finding the mechanism responsible for breaking electroweak symmetry is a current focus of Maxim Perelstein, assistant professor of physics. He also investigates topics in theoretical cosmology, particularly theoretical models for dark energy, dark matter, and inflation. Perelstein’s interests lie in constructing new models of electroweak symmetry breaking, and in devising strategies for testing them experimentally. His work is complemented by related experiments planned for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
