Understanding the Early Universe: Interplay of theory and (extra-) terrestrial experiments

Europe/Athens
Description
In the last several decades our understanding of the Universe has been greatly advanced, establishing the Standard Model (SM) of Particles and Cosmology which has successfully passed a plethora of experimental tests at high and low energy accelerators. Despite this achievement, several important questions such as the nature of Dark Matter, the origin of Baryon asymmetry, the neutrino masses and the mechanism of Inflation remain unanswered leading us to believe that the SM is not the ultimate theory, but there should be some beyond the SM (BSM) physics. Recently, several intriguing ideas have been proposed for these problems, which can be tested directly in terrestrial and extraterrestrial experiments. In this talk, I will briefly mention some of the progress in the theory and summarise experimental prospects. In addition, I will describe part of my scientific work that contributes to solving the above problems. In particular, in this seminar, I will demonstrate how my past and current research activity aims to advance the systematic search for Standard Model (of both Particles and Cosmology) extensions one step further towards theories which are fully consistent with the present data, either these come from the LHC or from ground and space-based experiments (such as LIGO, COBE, WMAP and PTA’s). Finally, I will connect the above discussion with my prospective research directions and I will present to you my future scientific goals.
