Research Areas:
Theoretical Particle Physics, beyond the Standard Model physics, the Higgs, and Dark Matter

Prof. Joshua Ruderman received his BS from Stanford University in 2006 and his PhD from Princeton University in 2011. He was a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 2011-2014, and he joined the faculty of the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics at New York University (NYU) in 2014. In 2018, he visited CERN as a Scientific Associate. He is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at NYU.

Prof. Ruderman is broadly interested in particle theory, with a focus on physics beyond the Standard Model. His work often resides at the interface of theory and experiment, where he studies the implications of ongoing and future experiments for theories of particles. He is interested in using high energy colliders, direct detection experiments, and cosmological measurements to learn about the origins of dark matter and the Higgs. He serves on the editorial board of SciPost and Journal of High Energy Physics. In 2020, he was awarded the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
