Rouzbeh Allahverdi

Rouzbeh Allahverdi is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico (UNM). He holds a PhD from the University of Alberta (2000). His research focuses on cosmology and particle physics, with a particular emphasis on dark matter, inflationary cosmology, supersymmetry, and baryogenesis. He explores mechanisms linking early universe physics to observable phenomena, including dark matter abundance and particle interactions. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental implications, such as gravitational wave signatures and laboratory observations.

Education: PhD in Physics, University of Alberta, 2000.

Research interests include:

• Cosmological epochs and expansion histories
• Dark matter production and detection
• Supersymmetry applications in particle physics and optics
• Baryogenesis and lepto/baryogenesis processes
• Nonthermal mechanisms in early universe physics

Recent work highlights include studies on gravitational waves from primordial black holes, dark matter production via mediator decays, and the role of superheavy particles in cosmological models. His publications span theoretical frameworks and cross-disciplinary applications, such as applying supersymmetry to optical waveguide analysis.
