Staff members with discipline Physics, Particles & Fields
Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.
Astroparticle Physics, Dark Matter, Machine Learning, Galaxy Clusters in X-rays
