Biography
Andreas Birkedal-Hansen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1972. He grew up in Denmark and Birmingham,
Alabama. He received a B.A. in mechanical engineering and a B.S. in physics from Georgia Tech at the end of
1996. In 1999, he earned an M.A. in physics from UC Berkeley. He is currently at UC Berkeley working on a Ph.D. in physics.
His studies currently focus on theoretical particle physics, investigating implications for particle physics
from recent and
near-future cosmological data. His research efforts also touch on strengthening the connection between string
theory and low-energy phenomenology through the use of effective supergravity models.
