Ariel Rock
Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics
Ariel Rock researches theoretical particle physics. He recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Jockey Club Institute of Advanced Study in Hong Kong, where his work investigated the potential of future particle collider experiments in searching for new theories of physics. Before that, he received his Ph.D, in physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he researched the use of finite, non-Abelian group theory to aid in the construction of beyond the Standard Model theories of supersymmetry breaking and neutrino mixing.
