Konstantinos Petridis is an Associate Professor in Particle Physics at the University of Bristol. He holds a PhD and MSci from London and has extensive experience in studying the basic constituents of matter and the interactions that define particle physics. His research primarily focuses on rare processes and the rare decays of B-hadrons, particularly within the framework of the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Over the past decade, his work has revealed significant tensions with Standard Model predictions, suggesting the potential existence of new fundamental forces in nature. Currently, his research efforts are directed towards understanding the underlying causes of these tensions, which may be due to new physics, unaccounted hadronic effects, or experimental artifacts. He has led multiple research projects aimed at resolving flavor anomalies and is also involved in the development of innovative particle physics technologies.
