معرفی
Thierry Lasserre is a Research Fellow at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) Institute for Advanced Study (Hans Fischer Senior Fellow since 2015) and a physicist at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Commission (CEA). He holds an associate researcher position at the AstroParticle and Cosmology laboratory (APC) in Paris. His expertise spans particle physics and observational cosmology, with a focus on neutrino properties and dark matter research. Lasserre leads key experiments such as Double Chooz (neutrino oscillations), CeSOX (search for sterile neutrinos), and Nucifer (nuclear non-proliferation via neutrino detection). He has pioneered research into keV-scale sterile neutrinos as dark matter candidates and contributed to the discovery of the reactor neutrino anomaly in 2011.
Education: PhD in observational cosmology from Paris 6 University (2000), postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (2000–2002), and habilitation thesis (2010). Key roles include head of the low-energy neutrino group at CEA-Saclay (since 2004) and co-PI of Nucifer (2004–present).
Research interests include neutrino oscillations, dark matter detection, sterile neutrino physics, and interdisciplinary applications like neutrino-based nuclear monitoring. Collaborations include the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for Nucifer and the KATRIN collaboration for neutrino mass measurements.
Awards include the ERC Starting Grant (2012–2017), CEA Senior Expert designation (2011), and CNRS Bronze Medal (2010). He is actively involved in experiments such as TRISTAN (keV sterile neutrino search) and CeSOX (antineutrino generator experiments).
