Theoretical Particle Physicist

Marius Kongsore

I am a theoretical particle physicist working at the interface of quantum field theory, particle phenomenology, astrophysics, and cosmology. I recently defended my PhD at New York University and will be starting as a postdoctoral scholar at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in the fall. My research uses ideas from symmetry, topology, and effective field theory to uncover new possibilities for physics beyond the Standard Model and to connect them to observable phenomena. I have worked on topics including dark matter searches, axions, generalized symmetries, instantons, magnetic monopoles, and topological defects in the early universe. Broadly, I am interested in how the deep structure of quantum field theory constrains, organizes, and expands the space of possible new physics.
