معرفی
Mark Hertzberg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Tufts University, located within the School of Arts and Sciences. He holds a PhD from MIT (2010), following degrees from the University of Sydney. His research focuses on theoretical physics at the intersection of cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics, with a particular emphasis on dark matter (e.g., axions), cosmological inflation, gravitation theory, and quantum phenomena. He has been Director of the Institute of Cosmology at Tufts since 2023.
