Theoretical high-energy physics: Neutrino model building and electroweak phenomenology beyond the standard model

Prof. Ernest Ma received his BS at the California Institute of Technology and his PhD at the University of California at Irvine. He was on the faculty at the University of Hawaii from 1977-87 and joined the University of California, Riverside in 1987. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was named as an inaugural Outstanding Referee of APS journals in 2008.

Prof. Ma’s main research interests are in theoretical particle physics with emphasis on neutrinos and related phenomena. His works include phenomenological studies and model building for hadron-hadron and electron-positron scattering at high energies and research on the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics.
