Dr. Ariel Rock obtained his BA in Physics and Mathematics from Swarthmore College in 2016. In 2021, he received his PhD in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he worked with Prof. Lisa L. EVERETT. His doctoral research focused on using finite, non-Abelian group theory to aid in the construction of beyond the Standard Mode theories of supersymmetry breaking and neutrino mixing. His current interests include cosmology, dark matter, and their intersections with phenomenology.
