Nominator's project description

Professor Spannowsky is one of the most versatile and productive researchers in the field of high energy phenomenology. His research record is extremely broad and characterized by a high degree of creativity. He has worked on topics as diverse as Higgs physics, Dark Matter phenomenology, and jet physics - in each of these areas setting new standards involving entirely new ways of thinking. In Germany, he intends to work on improving our understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking and Dark Matter.
