Sébastien Descotes-Genon

Sébastien Descotes-Genon is a Researcher (Directeur de recherche) at the CNRS, affiliated with the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique d'Orsay (CNRS-INP/Université Paris-Sud). His research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly quark physics within and beyond the Standard Model, particle-antiparticle asymmetry, and flavor physics. He holds a PhD from the Institut de Physique Nucléaire d'Orsay and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Southampton (UK) after studies at École Polytechnique.

His educational background includes training at École Polytechnique, followed by a PhD at the Institut de Physique Nucléaire d'Orsay. Key research themes explore fundamental questions in high-energy physics, including CP violation mechanisms and precision tests of the Standard Model.

No specific scientific awards, advised students, or grant details are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. His academic activities include teaching courses bridging cosmology and particle physics, such as 'Voyages de l'infiniment grand à l'infiniment petit,' though no peer-reviewed publications are listed here.
