Yuhsin Tsai

Yuhsin Tsai is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on theoretical particle physics and cosmology, particularly exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, including hidden sector physics, gravitational wave cosmology, neutrino cosmology, and solutions to the Higgs hierarchy problem. She is the Tom and Carolyn Marquez Assistant Professor of Physics, acknowledging her academic contributions.

Education: Ph.D., Cornell University (2012); B.S., National Tsing-Hua University, Taiwan (2004).

Research Interests: Tsai’s work aims to identify experimental signatures of new physics in facilities like the LHC, gravitational wave detectors, and cosmological observations (CMB/LSS). Key areas include probing hidden naturalness models, axion physics, and dark matter interactions. Her group, the Tsai Group, emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to cosmological and particle physics challenges.

Scientific Contributions: Her publications span topics like dark matter dynamics, CMB signals, and gravitational wave backgrounds. She actively engages with future experiments such as MATHUSLA and cosmic microwave background surveys.
