Björn Herrmann

Björn Herrmann is a Professor of Physics at Université Savoie Mont Blanc and Director of the Laboratoire d’Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique (LAPTh). He specializes in theoretical particle physics, focusing on phenomenology beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, and precision calculations. His teaching includes courses in mathematics and physics at the Institut Universitaire de Technologie (IUT) Annecy and the joint Master’s program in Subatomic Physics and Cosmology with Université Grenoble Alpes.

Education:

• Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (2019), Université Grenoble Alpes
• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (2008), Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble
• Master’s in Subatomic and Astroparticle Physics (2005), Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble

Research Interests: His work spans collider phenomenology, flavor physics, dark matter models, and computational techniques like machine learning. He co-founded the DM@NLO collaboration for precision dark matter predictions. Recent projects include studies on scotogenic models, SUSY GUTs, and annihilation patterns in dark matter indirect detection.

Professional Roles:

• Scientific management roles in IRN Terascale, GDR Intensity Frontier, and GDR Deep Underground Physics
• Organizing committee member for the annual École de Gif

Teaching & Outreach: Leads mathematics and physics courses at IUT Annecy. Engages in public outreach through events like Fête de la Science and Pint of Science.
