Professor Kane focuses on ways to test, extend, and strengthen the very successful Standard Model of Particle Physics in his research. He has particularly emphasized the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, along with methods for discovering and understanding the Higgs sector. Recent work has also focused on astrophysics and cosmology connections with particle physics, particularly in supersymmetric theories, and how to connect string theory to the real world. In general, he is interested in any area involving connection of theory and experiment for gauge theories of elementary particles.

Professor Kane is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.
