My work is mainly focused on models beyond the Standard model of particle physics with non-unitary mixing matrices. Within this theme, I published 2 articles on the seesaw mechanism in neutrinos. Still with work to be published on neutrinos, I recently also started to work on vector-like quarks, a topic on which I already published one article.
