Research activity description and interest :
I am interested in various motivations and testable hints of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics (SM). I have worked on ways to explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe, through baryogenesis and leptogenesis mechanisms which necessarily appeal to extensions of the SM, like extra sources of CP violations or neutrino masses. I have also studied ways to test the dark matter hypothesis in supersymmetric and other models models, using indirect or direct dark matter detection. Lately, I turned to quark and lepton flavour observables which provided extremely sensitive probes of deviations to the SM predictions.
