Sergey Kovalenko

Senior Researcher

Sergey Kovalenko is a professor and researcher in the Department of Physical Sciences at the Andrés Bello University. He holds a PhD in physics and a PhD in physical sciences and mathematics from the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubná, Russia).

He participates in the NA64, SND and SHiP experiments at CERN, contributing to their physics programmes.

His main area of research is theoretical elementary particle physics, particularly electroweak interactions, neutrino physics and physics beyond the standard model. He is currently working on the construction of extensions of the standard model with new symmetries aimed at explaining the problems of gauge and fermion mass hierarchy, neutrino mass, dark matter and the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. It also studies the phenomenological implications of these models for exotic processes such as neutrino free double beta decay, among other processes that violate the number and flavour of leptons.
