Julian Heeck

Julian Heeck is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on Theoretical High Energy Physics, particularly on addressing the limitations of the Standard Model through phenomenological studies of extensions that explain neutrino oscillations and dark matter.

• Ph.D., Heidelberg University (2014)
• Research Areas: Particle Physics, Quantum Field Theory, Lepton Flavor Violation
