About
Professor Alon Faraggi is a Professor at the University of Liverpool, specializing in theoretical particle physics and string theory with active roles in teaching and research leadership.
His research centers on unifying fundamental matter and interactions through two primary avenues:
- Construction of quasi-realistic string models using Z2×Z2 orbifolds of six-dimensional toroidal lattices, exploring connections to K3 surfaces, Moonshine symmetries, and modular forms
- Study of duality symmetries across quantum mechanics, quantum field theories, and string theory to formulate quantum gravity via equivalence postulates
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate concentrated work on non-supersymmetric heterotic string vacua, vacuum energy calculations, and spinor-vector duality, bridging advanced mathematical structures with testable particle physics phenomena.
Scientific recognition includes:
- PPARC Advanced fellowship (2000-2005)
- SSC fellowship (1993)
Professor Faraggi has supervised multiple doctoral theses on string phenomenology while securing substantial research funding through 12 grants from STFC, EPSRC, and the Royal Society between 2005-2024, covering theoretical particle physics and string phenomenology. He serves as Theoretical Physics Divisional Director of Graduate Studies and Deputy Head of Cluster at Liverpool.
He leads the String and Beyond the Standard Model Phenomenology research group, maintaining active collaborations with institutions including Weizmann Institute, Ecole Normale Supérieure, and University of Turin.
