André de Gouvêa

André de Gouvêa is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Northwestern University, affiliated with the Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on theoretical high-energy physics and phenomenology beyond the Standard Model, particularly addressing neutrino mass mechanisms and dark matter.

• Education: PhD in Physics, University of California, Berkeley (1999)
• Leadership Roles: Department Chair, Director of Northwestern’s Integrated Science Program, Chair of APS Division of Particles and Fields (2024)

His work explores neutrino mass origins, electroweak symmetry breaking, and dark matter connections. Key contributions include studies on non-unitary neutrino propagation, CP violation in sterile neutrino scenarios, and grand unification theories.

Recent research trends emphasize intensity frontier experiments, neutrino oscillation anomalies, and collider searches for new phenomena. Publications span topics like sterile neutrinos, lepton flavor violation, and naturalness in mass hierarchies.
