Stavros Niarchos Foundation Aristarchus Chair in Theoretical Physics
Particle physics identifies nature's constituents and interactions at the most fundamental level. Perimeter researchers compare theoretical ideas with cosmological observations and data from Earth-based accelerators, small-scale experiments, and underground laboratories. They then use this information to constrain the theoretical possibilities for physics beyond the Standard Model, and to advance scientific discovery. Particle physics has a strong overlaps with PI research in string theory, quantum gravity, and cosmology.
