Professor Björn Garbrecht conducts research in particle physics with a focus on processes in the early universe. His work addresses the challenges posed by non-isolated scattering processes due to finite temperatures and the Big Bang, along with the complexities introduced by strongly curved space-times. A primary objective of his research group at the Technische Universität München (TUM) is to develop methodologies for describing high-energy reactions in thermal equilibrium with quantum fields in expanding space-times. His studies have significant implications for understanding the dynamical generation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, which requires deviations from thermal equilibrium. Professor Garbrecht is particularly interested in models that connect experimental tests related to charge-parity (CP) violation, electroweak symmetry breaking, and neutrino oscillations. He studied physics at Heidelberg University and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, earning his doctorate in Heidelberg in 2005 before pursuing postdoctoral research at the University of Manchester and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He served as an assistant professor leading a research group at RWTH Aachen from 2009 to 2012 before being appointed a full professor at TUM in 2012.
