ELENA GONZALEZ FERREIRO

ELENA GONZALEZ FERREIRO is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Faculty of Physics and the Department of Particle Physics. She is part of the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) and the research group TEOFPACC (Theory and Phenomenology of Particles, Astroparticles, Fields and Strings). Her work focuses on theoretical physics with an emphasis on particle interactions and string models.

Education: PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela (1997), thesis titled Production of strangeness and heavy flavors in string interaction models, advised by Dr. Carlos Pajares Vales.

Research Interests: Specializes in high-energy physics phenomena, including strangeness production, heavy quark dynamics, and theoretical frameworks bridging particle physics with astroparticle studies. Her group explores cutting-edge topics in field theory and string theory applications.

Labs/Teams: Active member of the IGFAE and TEOFPACC group, contributing to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of fundamental physics and cosmological questions.
