Professor Beneke's research area is theoretical elementary particle physics and fundamental forces. He develops quantum field theoretical methods to compute high-energy scattering reactions and particle decay, determining fundamental parameters of the Standard Model and its extensions. Additionally, Professor Beneke is interested in astrophysics and cosmology, particularly the nature of dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. He studied physics and mathematics at the universities of Konstanz, Cambridge, and Heidelberg, conducted his PhD research on the large-order behavior of perturbative expansions of quantum field theories at the Max Planck Institute for Physics, and received his PhD from the Technical University of Munich in 1993. After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, he moved to the European Center for Particle Physics, CERN, in 1996. In 1999, he accepted an appointment at RWTH Aachen, where he directed the Institute of Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology. He has been teaching and conducting research at the Technical University of Munich since 2012.
