Biography

Edward Hardy is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford specializing in theoretical physics with a focus on the Standard Model and its implications for particle interactions. His research primarily investigates new physics theories in connection with experimental searches and observational data, particularly over the last few years, with significant emphasis on the QCD axion as a feasible solution to the strong CP problem. He actively engages in predicting signals from plausible Standard Model candidates and explores gravitational wave signals, as well as cosmological and astrophysical effects arising from particle colliders. With a background in developing lecture notes and courses in his field, he contributes to both academic and pedagogical efforts, thereby bridging theory and application.
