Phase transitions and the birth of early universe particle physics [PDF]
, 2023 This paper provides a conceptual history of the development of early universe particle physics in the 1970s, focusing on the development of more sophisticated tools for constructing gauge-theories at finite- temperature.

Topics in Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology [PDF]
, 2007 We first delve into particle phenomenology with a study of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), an effective theory for Quantum Chromodynamics for when all particles are approximately on their light-cones. In particular, we study the matching of SCET(

Topics in Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology beyond the Standard Model [PDF]
, 2006 We review our understanding of spin-1 and spin-2 massless particles as mediators of long-range forces. We discuss how a quantum description of such particles that is compatible with Lorentz covariance leads to gauge invariance, a mathematical redundancy

The Lukewarm Frontier: Some Cosmological Consequences of 'Low Energy' Physics [PDF]
, 2010 In this thesis, we present four projects featuring low characteristic energy scales relative to the scales relevant for supersymmetric dark matter production or inflation. We present a telescope search for decaying relic axions in the 3 − 8 eV mass range.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Combining the Higgs searches at the LHC, we study the Higgs inflation in the type-I and type-II two-Higgs-doublet models with non-minimally couplings to gravity.

Axion inflation in the strong-backreaction regime: decay of the Anber-Sorbo solution
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Axion inflation coupled to Abelian gauge fields via a Chern-Simons-like term of the form ϕF F ~ $$ \phi F\overset{\sim }{F} $$ represents an attractive inflationary model with a rich phenomenology, including the production of magnetic fields, black holes,

A Review of Neutrino Decoupling from the Early Universe to the Current Universe
, 2022 We review the distortions of spectra of relic neutrinos due to the interactions with electrons, positrons, and neutrinos in the early universe. We solve integro-differential kinetic equations for the neutrino density matrix, including vacuum three-flavor

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Recent sky surveys have discovered a large number of stellar substructures. It is highly likely that there are dark matter (DM) counterparts to these stellar substructures.

WIMPs, FIMPs, and Inflaton phenomenology via reheating, CMB and ∆N eff
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In this paper, we extensively analyzed the reheating dynamics after inflation and looked into its possible implication on dark matter (DM) and inflaton phenomenology.

On Under-determination in Cosmology [PDF]
, 2012 I discuss how modern cosmology illustrates under-determination of theoretical hypotheses by data, in ways that are different from most philosophical discussions.
