Biography

Geraldine Servant is a leading scientist at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and a professor at the University of Hamburg. Her research focuses on the interplay between particle physics and cosmology, particularly the origins of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. She has worked on models of new physics, collider phenomenology at the TeV scale, and has placed special emphasis on the cosmological consequences of phenomena such as the nature of the electroweak phase transition in the early universe. Geraldine's upcoming research is anticipated to align with the new advances brought forth by an influx of data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as dark matter searches in underground laboratories, cosmic ray telescopes, and low-energy frontier experiments targeting axion-like particles. Moreover, she is involved in cosmological surveys and large-scale structure simulations, and has a keen interest in gravitational wave astronomy.
