About
Jan Schütte-Engel works on theoretical high-energy particle physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmology. He is based at UC Berkeley.
Jan explores how we can discover new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics through signals from cosmology and astrophysics. His work is particularly focused on how new physics may be encoded in gravitational wave signals from both the early universe and astrophysical sources.
Jan also proposes novel ideas for detecting new physics with Earth-based detectors. He has suggested several new ideas for gravitational wave and dark matter detection and examines what signals from our universe could be discovered with these detectors. His work is highly interdisciplinary and makes use of ideas from condensed matter physics and quantum sensing.
