Pedro Accioly Nogueira Machado

Pedro Machado currently works at Fermilab (Theoretical Physics Division, U.S.), as a researcher focused on neutrinos and beyond-Standard-Model physics.
He search for physics beyond the Standard Model that could manifest in the neutrino sector. He investigates non-standard neutrino interactions —possible new forces or particles that might subtly modify how neutrinos propagate and oscillate, extending or challenging the conventional three-neutrino framework.
By developing detailed phenomenological predictions for current and next-generation neutrino experiments, he explores how signatures of new physics could appear in data and how experimental measurements can be used to uncover or tightly constrain such effects. His work helps chart the path toward discovering new interactions through one of the most elusive sectors of particle physics.
