  The study Extensions of the Higgs sector of the Standard Model, with special emphasis on : i) Mechanisms for the natural suppression of Flavour Changing Neutral Currents ( FCNC ) ii) The use of weak basis invariants in the study of the physical implications of Multi-Higgs extensions iii) The study of new Sources of CP Violation and their phenomenological implications both in the quark and lepton sectors.
