Abstract
Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators have long been preferable devices for use in various
engineering applications. However developments in the technology have lead to new use cases as
probes of fundamental physics. In this thesis, the relationship between macroscopic BAW resonators and fundamental physics will be explored. It will be shown that these devices provide competitive constraints on theories that lie outside the realm of the standard model of particle physics. Thus, through experimentation, we show that these resonators provide a platform from which one can probe pressing questions in order to further our understanding of the universe.
