My research focuses principally on the phenomenology of the weak interactions. I am particularly active in the field of CP violation in the decays of B mesons, and lately I have started to look at top-quark physics. I also study exotic particles such as extra gauge bosons and non-standard fermions. I use effective lagrangians to study new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Alan Robinson, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, is interested in particle physics issues. It conducts experiments on dark matter and more specifically develops technologies that could be used to find it.
