Lisa Joy Randall is an American theoretical physicist and Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University. Her research includes the fundamental forces of nature and dimensions of space. She studies the Standard Model, supersymmetry, possible solutions to the hierarchy problem concerning the relative weakness of gravity, cosmology of dimensions, baryogenesis, cosmological inflation, and dark matter. She co-developed the Randall–Sundrum model, first published in 1999 with Raman Sundrum.

Across 1 conversation, Lisa Randall ranges across Large Hadron Collider, particle physics, dark matter. Dark matter, which carries five times the energy of ordinary matter, drives galaxy formation and extinction events. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not found dark matter, challenging assumptions about WIMPs and supersymmetry.
