About Masha
I am an Assistant Professor in Physics at the University of Washington; previously I spent time as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and at the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics at New York University. My research in theoretical particle physics focuses on theories beyond the Standard Model and creating new ideas and directions for testing them. I am currently pursuing the development of new precision searches for light dark matter candidates, as well as searches for new ultralight particles with black holes and gravitational waves.
