Dr Sebastian Jaeger

Biography

I joined Sussex as a Lecturer in September 2009 and have been a Senior Lecturer since 2011. Prior to Sussex, I was Junior (Assistant) Professor of Theoretical Physics at Technische Universität München, Germany.

I obtained my first university degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Master of Science in Physics, 1998) and TUM (Diploma, 2000) and a PhD from TUM (2003) for my dissertation Supersymmetric SO(10) unification and flavor-changing weak decays.

Following my PhD, I was a postdoc at RWTH Aachen, where I performed the first next-to-next-to-leading order calculations in the context of collinear (QCD) factorization of exclusive B decays, then at the Arnold Sommerfeld Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and then a Fellow in the CERN Theory Group, making various conceptual and technical contributions to the new physics search (mainly) through flavour physics observables (see the research tab for more).

Physics of the electroweak scale. Indirect probes for the underlying TeV-scale physics, such as flavour and CP violation, specifically at LHCb, but also collider phenomenology and aspects of weak-scale model building (supersymmetric and other). Factorization, soft-collinear effective theory and higher-order calculations relevant to the new-physics search. See my research page for more details and suggested PhD and Master's topics.
