Particle Physics Circa 2021

ABSTRACT
I will share my personal view of what we learned after half a century of Beyond-the-Standard Model theory and searches
BIO
Savas Dimopoulos is the Hamamoto Family Professor at Stanford University. He obtained his PhD at the University of Chicago, and held positions, among others, at Harvard and CERN. In his long scientific career he is the author of seminal papers on a wide range of topics in elementary particle physics and physics beyond the Standard Model. He made important contributions in the fields of supersymmetry, dynamical symmetry breaking, dark matter, new extra dimensions and fundamental physics at large. For example, his works on supersymmetric unification and his creative ideas in explaining the weakness of gravity with large new extra dimensions have shaped the experimental searches for new physics at the TeV scale in the past decades. In recent years he has been focussing on the study of fundamental physics through atom interferometry, with the aim of testing quantum mechanics and general relativity with unprecedented precision.
