Prof. Alejandro Ibarra's scientific research focuses on theoretical elementary particle physics, specifically the Standard Model, neutrino physics, supersymmetry, and astroparticle physics. His work includes developing models for neutrino masses, rare leptonic decays, indirect detection of dark matter, and the leptogenesis model which explains the origin of the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry. He completed his doctoral studies at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2000, and has held postdoctoral research positions at Oxford University and CERN in Geneva. Before joining the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg, he worked as a Ramón y Cajal postdoc at the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IFT) in Madrid. In 2008, he became a professor of theoretical elementary particle physics at the Technical University of Munich. His contributions have earned him distinctions such as the Outstanding Referee Award from the American Physical Society in 2020 and various research fellowships and awards throughout his career.
