I am a theoretical physicist. I research the laws governing the smallest building blocks of Nature. It is an exciting and challenging area of Physics, more so these days with the newborn LHC. The LHC, Large Hadron Collider, started a few months ago and it will explore the energy frontier in Particle Physics.

I have been at York since July, 2009. York University is a diverse and dynamic institution in the Toronto area.

Besides work, I like trekking and snowshoeing, sitting back with some music and a good read, cooking good stuff and eating it!

Short Bio

Particle physics is the study of the laws governing the smallest building blocks of Nature. It is an exciting and challenging area of physics, more so these days with the newborn LHC. The LHC (Large Hadron Collider), which began to operate a few months ago, will explore the energy frontier in particle physics. The aim of Particle physics is to answer questions like what is the genesis of our Universe? and what is the Universe made of? A large part of the Universe is Dark Matter, a new and mysterious particle that will be produced at the LHC.

Originally from Valencia, Spain, Prof. Sanz has done research at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Boston and Durham, besides her hometown university in Valencia. She was a Fulbright fellow at Harvard and Marie Curie fellow at Yale. She has been awarded a Large Hadron Collider-Theory initiative prize for her work on LHC physics.
