Maxwell T. Hansen

Maxwell T. Hansen

Personal Chair of Theoretical and Computational Physics

University of Edinburgh

I am a member of the Higgs Centre and the Particle Physics Theory group at the University of Edinburgh. I joined the group in 2020 with the support of The UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. I go by ‘Max’, but I use my full name for research publications.

Before coming to Edinburgh, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Helmholz Institute in Mainz, Germany, and a fellow, and later a staff member, in the Theory Department at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Washington in 2014, under the exceptional supervision of Steve Sharpe.
