This review is based on lectures on flavor physics given at TASI 2008. First I summarize our present knowledge on the fundamental parameters of the flavor sector. Then I discuss various scenarios going beyond the standard model which attempt to explain aspects of the "flavor puzzle". Relating quark masses and mixing angles via flavor symmetry is explored. Explaining the mass hierarchy via the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism is reviewed and illustrated. Grand unification ideas are pursued to seek a pattern in the observed masses and mixings of quarks and leptons. Generating light fermion masses as radiative corrections is explained and illustrated. The popular solutions to the strong CP problem are summarized. Finally, specific processes in B meson system where significant new flavor contributions can arise are discussed.

Cosmic Collider Gravitational Waves sourced by Right-handed Neutrino production from Bubbles: Testing Seesaw, Leptogenesis and Dark Matter
Bubble collisions in a seesaw model produce right-handed neutrinos that source novel gravitational waves detectable by LISA, ET, and LVK while allowing the lightest RHN to explain dark matter or enable leptogenesis.

Minimal Multi-Majoron Model
The minimal multi-Majoron model is a UV-complete seesaw framework in which two Majoron VEVs set hierarchical right-handed neutrino masses and generate a combined cosmic-string and first-order-transition gravitational ...

Comprehensive Bayesian Exploration of Froggatt-Nielsen Mechanism
A Bayesian scan of Froggatt-Nielsen charge assignments up to |f|<=10 finds many viable models, including negative-charge solutions, and derives testable predictions for neutrino mass and nucleon decay.

Phenomenology of $keV$ sterile neutrino in minimal extended seesaw
A single keV sterile neutrino in the minimal extended seesaw with A4 flavor symmetry is scanned against 0νββ, dark matter, and leptogenesis constraints, and the normal neutrino mass ordering emerges as favored.
