Title: Masses and Mixing Angles of Quarks and Leptons and a Novel 
Origin of CP Violation  

Abstract: The origin of fermion mass hierarchy and mixing still 
remains one of the great mysteries in particle physics. While the 
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may discover the Higgs boson, which can 
give rise to all fermion masses through the Higgs mechanism, the 
Higgs mechanism by itself does not explain the observed mass 
hierarchy and mixing patterns. The observation of non-zero neutrino 
masses leads to yet another puzzle: why the neutrino masses are so 
small when compared to other fermions, and why two of the three 
neutrino mixing angles are so large when compared with their quark 
counterpart. In this talk, I will present several theoretical ideas 
based on supersymmetric grand unification, extra dimensions, and new 
physics at the TeV scale. In particular, I will concentrate on a 
grand unified model combined with a finite group family symmetry, 
which naturally predicts realistic masses and mixing angles of all 
observed fermions, including the neutrinos. Due to the presence of 
the complex group theoretical Clebsch-Gordon coefficients, CP 
violation is entirely geometrical in origin, which leads to 
interesting implications for the generation of the matter antimatter 
asymmetry in the Universe.
