welcome to Carlos Pena's web page
I am Profesor Titular (Associate Professor) at the Department of Theoretical Physics and the Institute for Theoretical Physics UAM/CSIC of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
My research focuses on strong interaction effects in various areas of elementary particle physics: flavour dynamics, breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD, electroweak symmetry breaking. Most of my work is carried out using lattice field theory methods.
I teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, help running the UAM Graduate School in Theoretical Physics, and actively participate in IFT outreach activities.
