James Unwin

After receiving my DPhil from the University of Oxford, UK, under the supervision of John March-Russell, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame. I moved to Chicago to take up a faculty position at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in 2015, where I am currently an Associate Professor. I live with my family in downtown Chicago.

One of my major research interests is at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, in connection with physics beyond the Standard Model. I have previously written on a diverse range of topics including supersymmetric models, collider physics, astrophysics, and string phenomenology. I also conduct interdisciplinary research, and I recently started the AIRSHIP Lab at UIC to bring together researchers working on applications of AI to scientific questions.
