Biography

Daniel Green is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2009. His research interests lie broadly at the intersection of cosmology and particle physics, particularly focusing on the physics of the early universe. He investigates the ultimate origin of matter and radiation and the structure of the universe at energies that are not currently accessible on Earth. His work employs formal tools from quantum field theory to understand the physics of inflation and seeks to explore new opportunities using data from cosmic microwave background observations and large-scale structure surveys. His extensive publication record includes significant contributions to the understanding of cosmic axion searches and constraints on primordial magnetic fields during inflation, highlighting his expertise in the field.
