About

Dr. J. W. F. Valle received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Syracuse University in 1982 and is currently a professor at IFIC (Instituto de Fsica Corpuscular) at the University of Valencia Spain. He also holds the position of Full Professor at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). He is well-known for his extensive contributions to theoretical astroparticle and high energy physics particularly neutrino physics. Prof. Valle is well-known for his outstanding contributions to the theory of neutrino mass. He has offered the first comprehensive study of the numerous mechanisms of neutrino mass generation (including versions of the seesaw mechanism) in a pioneering paper with Joseph Schechter. The same authors also developed the Schechter-Valle theorem which states that a discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay implies neutrinos are Majorana fermions and vice versa. Dr. Sandhya Choubey is a professor in the Department of Physics KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm Sweden. Her research areas include neutrino physics and dark matter. She completed her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Calcutta in 2002 and worked as postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southampton UK SISSA Italy and University of Oxford UK. She worked at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute India from 2006 until 2019 after which she joined KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm Sweden. Dr. Debasish Borah is an associate professor in the dept. of Physics at IIT Guwahati. He is a theoretical physicist who works in the field of neutrino physics dark matter baryogenesis and related areas. He received the prestigious Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award from the National Academy of Sciences India (NASI) in 2019 and the Young Scientist Medal from the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) in 2020 for his outstanding contribution to theoretical physics. Dr. Rahul Srivastava obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and later joined the Mathematical Sciences department in Chennai Tamil Nadu as a postdoctoral fellow. He then joined the Physical Research Laboratory Ahmedabad Gujarat followed by the Astroparticle and High Energy Physics Group at the Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular in Valencia Spain. He is currently working as an assistant professor at IISER Bhopal India. He is a theoretical physicist whose research interests are in the areas of neutrino physics dark matter physics Higgs and collider physics beyond Standard Model physics and gravity waves. Dr. Debajyoti Dutta obtained his Ph.D. from Gauhati University in Assam followed by post-doctoral research at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute Allahabad India. He started as an assistant professor in the physics department of Assam Don Bosco University and worked there for more than five years. He served as the head of the physics department for two years at ADBU. Currently he is working as an assistant professor at Bhattadev University Assam India. His research interests are in the areas of neutrino oscillation physics beyond Standard Model physics and neutrino mass models.
