Maxim Pospelov is Professor at the William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute and Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in 1994 (formally 1995). Following his Ph.D., he was a NATO Science Fellow at the University of Quebec at Montreal from 1996 to 1998, a Research Associate at the University of Minnesota from 1998 to 2001, a Visiting Scientist at McGill University from 2001 to 2002, and an Advanced PPARC Research Fellow at the University of Sussex in 2002. He then joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Victoria in 2002 and became an Associate Faculty member at Perimeter Institute in 2004.
Since 2019, he has been a faculty member in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota and a member of the William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute. His research spans theoretical particle physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmology, with important contributions to dark matter, hidden sectors, and precision probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In recognition of his work, he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2022, cited for outstanding contributions to astroparticle physics, including phenomenological approaches to dark matter and its detection, and important work on simple extensions of the Standard Model with dark matter.
