Sung Mook Lee, a postdoctoral researcher at CERN, will be visiting IFIC from 9 to 13 March 2026. During his visit, he will collaborate with IFIC researchers working on axion physics and high-frequency gravitational waves. He will also give an IFIC seminar titled “Beyond the Minimal Axion: Robustness of Standard Predictions”.

More information about this event here.  

His research focuses on particle theory, astroparticle physics, and cosmology, with particular emphasis on axions and axion-like particles, dark matter, and related early-Universe phenomena. His recent work includes studies of extended and multi-axion scenarios, axion haloscopes, and high-frequency gravitational waves, particularly the interplay between axion detection and gravitational-wave searches. He has been a postdoctoral researcher at CERN since 2024, after earlier appointments at KAIST and a previous research stay at CERN.

He will be based in office B-5-7.
