Title:     Masses and Mixing Angles of Quarks and Leptons

Abstract: The origin of fermion mass hierarchy and mixing still remains a mystery in particle physics. The observation of non-zero neutrino masses leads to yet another puzzle: why the neutrino masses are so small while two of the three neutrino mixing angles are so large, when compared with their quark counterpart. In this talk, I will review some recent ideas that are aiming at answering these questions. I will also illuminate possible implications of these ideas for the generation of matter antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
