Antonio Rivera joined the Theory group at IFAE as a PhD student

Antonio Rivera obtained his Physics degree and a Master’s degree in High Energy Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology at the UAB, where he worked on holography applied to the muon g-2 and later on QCD sum rules. At IFAE, he will join Pere Masjuan’s group, where he will work on topics related to low-energy QCD, non-perturbative physics, and probes of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Welcome Antonio!
