Michael Schmidt

Michael Schmidt is a researcher at the University of New South Wales, affiliated with the School of Physics. His work centers on theoretical particle physics and astroparticle physics beyond the Standard Model.

Research Interests

• Neutrino Physics: Investigating the origin of neutrino masses and their phenomenological implications.
• Flavour Physics: Studying anomalies in lepton flavour universality and muon magnetic moments, with a focus on model-building.
• Dark Matter: Exploring candidates like WIMPs, sterile neutrinos, axions, and their detection strategies.
• Phase Transitions in the Early Universe: Analyzing their role in matter-antimatter asymmetry and gravitational wave generation.
• Collider Physics: Using the LHC and future colliders to probe new physics scenarios.

His research bridges particle physics with cosmological phenomena, emphasizing connections between neutrino masses, dark matter abundance, and the Universe’s evolution.
