Juan Rojo

Juan Rojo is a Full Professor at the VU Amsterdam, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics and Astronomy. His research focuses on particle physics, nuclear physics, and astroparticle physics phenomenology, particularly the quark and gluon substructure of protons using machine learning, model-independent searches for New Physics via Effective Theory frameworks, and the interplay between high-energy collider and astroparticle processes.
