Frederick Wehlen

Frederick Wehlen is a PhD student in particle cosmology at University College London, UK. His research centres on exotic decoherence effects during the leptogenesis era, the fraction of a second after the Big Bang when the matter–antimatter asymmetry was generated. He is particularly interested in how cosmology and astrophysics can shed light on the behaviour of fundamental particles via high-energy processes that can't be reproduced in colliders. Outside of research, he has worked as a high school physics and chemistry teacher, which has given him an appreciation for the importance of clear communication in the sciences.
