Maxim Perelstein is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. He obtained his B.S. in Physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1995, and subsequently completed his M.S. in Physics at UCLA in 1997 and his Ph.D. in Physics at Stanford University in 2000. His research primarily revolves around theoretical elementary particle physics and cosmology, with a focus on electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and its implications within the Standard Model of particle physics. Perelstein's work involves constructing new models of EWSB and devising experimental strategies related to new physical phenomena that could be discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His research also includes the intersection of particle physics and cosmology, particularly in relation to dark matter and dark energy. He has held various academic positions, including Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and has been recognized with honors such as the NSF Career Award and being named a Simons Fellow in Theoretical Physics. Perelstein has published extensively on topics relevant to his research interests, contributing to understanding the dynamics of electroweak phase transition and proposing novel dark matter candidates.
