Sebastian Garcia-Saenz

Sebastian Garcia-Saenz is an Assistant Professor at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in China, affiliated with the School of Science and Department of Physics. His research spans theoretical cosmology, gravitation, high-energy physics, and theoretical astrophysics, with a focus on early-universe physics, dark energy, and cosmic inflation paradigms.

• Ph.D. in Physics (2016), Columbia University, USA

His work explores fundamental aspects of gravitational theories, including partially massless spin-2 fields and their implications for cosmological models. He has published extensively on non-Gaussianities in multifield inflation, modified gravity theories, and holographic applications to condensed matter systems.

Key publication trends show expertise in:

• Cosmic inflation dynamics
• Dark energy and modified gravity
• Higher-spin field theories
• Non-Gaussian cosmological perturbations
• Holographic duality applications

Scientific honors include:

• Young Scientist Fellowship (2021) - declined
• JSPS International Fellowship (2019) - declined
• Allan M. Sachs Teaching Award (2016)
• Joseph C. Pfister fellowship (2014)
