معرفی
Maria Concepcion Gonzalez-Garcia is a Professor at Stony Brook University's Department of Physics and Astronomy. She is affiliated with the YITP (Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics) at the university, where her research focuses on neutrino physics, particle phenomenology, and solar astrophysics. Her work often involves global analyses of neutrino oscillations and exploring beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios through collider and astrophysical data.
She earned her Ph.D. in 1991 from the Universidad de Valencia. Her recent teaching includes Elementary Particle Physics (PHY557) in Spring 2025. Gonzalez-Garcia is a leading contributor to the NuFIT collaboration, which performs comprehensive neutrino oscillation analyses. Her research interests span non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), electroweak precision tests, and leveraging solar and stellar astrophysics to constrain BSM models.
Her publications reflect collaborations with institutions like CERN, INFN, and the COHERENT experiment. Recent work includes studies on sterile neutrinos, quartic gauge couplings in the HEFT framework, and implications of Borexino solar neutrino data. She has also explored the effects of dimension-eight operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) and unitarity constraints in gauge boson interactions.
Gonzalez-Garcia's advising and grants include contributions to the LHC Effective Field Theory Working Group and the European Neutrino Town Meeting. She is involved in projects like the Muon Collider and High Field Magnet R&D. Her lab affiliations are tied to the YITP and collaborations such as COHERENT, Dresden-II, and NuFIT.
